About this product

Product Information

This brutal, shattering glimpse of the fate of millions of Russians under Stalin shook Russia and shocked the world when it first appeared.Discover the importance of a piece of bread or an extra bowl of soup, the incredible luxury of a book, the ingenious possibilities of a nail, a piece of string or a single match in a world where survival is all. Here safety, warmth and food are the first objectives. Reading this book, you enter a world of incarceration, brutality, hard manual labour and freezing cold - and participate in the struggle of men to survive both the terrible rigours of nature and the inhumanity of the system that defines their conditions of life.

  • A warning about totalitarianism

    Interesting the way the author uses no chapters in the book but uses one continuous text emphasising the monotonous continual horror of gulag life.

    It is an important book but an artist can put this across more compellingly such as in the film “the separation”.
