На 28 декември 1973 г., в Париж излиза трудът на Александър Солженицин “Архипелаг ГУЛАГ”. Нареждана сред най-значимите книги на 20-и век, тази антология на сталинския терор променя погледа на хората от Запада върху Съветския съюз.\nРазкритията за мащаба на сталинските репресии ги хвърлят в страшен потрес: стотици хиляди избити по бързата процедура, организиран масов глад, милиони затворници, депортирани цели народи (като кримските татари), милиони жертви…\nВ "Архипелаг ГУЛАГ" писателят обединява исторически изследвания, разкази на над 200 очевидци и психологически интроспекции в сложен текст, който той самият нарича "опит за художествено изследване". "Архипелаг ГУЛАГ" е най-мащабното описание на съветската лагерна система и с право има ранга на енциклопедия по темата.\nПОСВЕЩАВАМ 
на всички, които не доживяха да 
разкажат това. 
И нека ми простят, 
че не всичко съм видял, 
не всичко си спомням, 
не за всичко съм се досетил.\nАлександър Солженицин

Gulag Archipelago, 1918-1956 Vol. 2 : An Experiment in Literary Investigation

HARPERCOLLINS,AUSTRALIA

Set in Moscow during a three-day period in December 1949, The First Circle is the story of the prisoner Gleb Nerzhin, a brilliant mathematician. At the age of thirty-one, Nerzhin has survived the war years on the German front and the postwar years in a succession of Russian prisons and labor camps. His story is interwoven with the stories of a dozen fellow prisoners - each an unforgettable human being - from the prison janitor to the tormented Marxist intellectual who designed the Dnieper dam; of the reigning elite and their conflicted subordinates; and of the women, wretched or privileged, bound to these men. A landmark of Soviet literature, The First Circle is as powerful today as it was when it was first published, nearly thirty years ago.

[This is the Audiobook CD Library Edition of VOLUME 1 in vinyl case.] **Time Magazine's Best Nonfiction Book of the 20th Century**  In this masterpiece, Solzhenitsyn has orchestrated thousands of incidents and individual histories into one narrative of unflagging power and momentum. Written in a tone that encompasses Olympian wrath, bitter calm, savage irony, and sheer comedy, it combines history, autobiography, documentary, and political analysis as it examines in its totality the Soviet apparatus of repression from its inception following the October Revolution of 1917.  This first volume involves us in the innocent victim's arrest and preliminary detention and the stages by which he is transferred across the breadth of the Soviet Union to his ultimate destination: the hard labor camp.

Rebuilding Russia

Harvill Press

At the height of Stalin's postwar terror, Innokenty, a young diplomat and scion of a corrupt ruling class, discovers an earlier and more spiritual tradition than that adopted by the October Revolution, the beginning of a process which is Solzhenitsyn's basic theme: the individual's experience of acquiring an immortal soul. Unwisely but generously, Innokenty helps a friend in danger of arrest, only to be arrested himself and sent to a special prison. This, the archetype of the Gulag, is described with masterful psychological insight. There are no heroes and hardly any villains; oppressors are no less victims then the oppressed. In the great tradition of the Russian novel, The First Circle is both a brooding account of human nature and a scrupulously exact description of a historical period.

“BEST NONFICTION BOOK OF THE 20TH CENTURY” —Time
“It is impossible to name a book that had a greater effect on the political and moral consciousness of the late twentieth century.” —David Remnick, The New Yorker The Nobel Prize winner’s towering masterpiece of world literature, the searing record of four decades of terror and oppression, in one abridged volume (authorized by the author). Features a new foreword by Anne Applebaum. Drawing on his own experiences before, during and after his eleven years of incarceration and exile, on evidence provided by more than 200 fellow prisoners, and on Soviet archives, Solzhenitsyn reveals with torrential narrative and dramatic power the entire apparatus of Soviet repression, the state within the state that once ruled all-powerfully with its creation by Lenin in 1918. Through truly Shakespearean portraits of its victims-this man, that woman, that child-we encounter the secret police operations, the labor camps and prisons, the uprooting or extermination of whole populations, the “welcome” that awaited Russian soldiers who had been German prisoners of war. Yet we also witness astounding moral courage, the incorruptibility with which the occasional individual or a few scattered groups, all defenseless, endured brutality and degradation. And Solzhenitsyn’s genius has transmuted this grisly indictment into a literary miracle.
 “The greatest and most powerful single indictment of a political regime ever leveled in modern times.” —George F. Kennan
“Solzhenitsyn’s masterpiece. ... The Gulag Archipelago helped create the world we live in today.” —Anne Applebaum, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Gulag: A History, from the foreword
