THE GULAG ARCHIPELAGO — VOLUME ONE, PARTS I–II
Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Ladies and gentlemen, we present a book that offers considerably more than an attractive distraction on the train.

Here is an invitation to confront the machinery of Soviet repression: arrest, interrogation, imprisonment, and the human beings caught within it. Solzhenitsyn brings together personal experience and the accounts of others in a work of formidable historical and literary force.

For the reader of history, politics or the darker workings of power, this is substantial reading. It promises neither comfort nor a cheerful ending to your Sunday afternoon. It does offer much to consider long after the book has been closed.

THE COPY OFFERED
Volume One, Parts I–II only—not the complete multi-volume work. English language. Offered in acceptable used condition, with wear consistent with that grading. Please examine the photographs for the appearance and condition of this particular copy.

No claim is made that this is a first edition, signed copy or rare printing. Its distinction lies in the work itself.

A place on your bookshelf is available. Whether your lighter reading will appreciate the new neighbour is another matter.
