Although the opening of the Soviet archives to scholars has made it possible to write the history of this notorious concentration camp system, documents tell only one side of the story. \u003ci\u003eGulag Voices\u003c\/i\u003e now fills in the other half.\u003cp\u003eThe backgrounds of the writers reflect the extraordinary diversity of the Gulag itself. Here are the personal stories of such figures as Dmitri Likhachev, a renowned literary scholar; Anatoly Marchenko, the son of illiterate laborers; and Alexander Dolgun, an American citizen. These remembrances--many of them appearing in English for the first time, each chosen for both literary and historical value--collectively spotlight the strange moral universe of the camps, as well as the relationships that prisoners had with one another, with their guards, and with professional criminals who lived beside them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA vital addition to the literature of this era, annotated for a generation that no longer remembers the Soviet Union, \u003ci\u003eGulag Voices\u003c\/i\u003e will inform, interest, and inspire, offering a source for reflection on human nature itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne Applebaum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300177836\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300177831\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/27\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.67h x 5.30w x 0.58d","brand":"Anne Applebaum","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992917704959,"sku":"9780300177831","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_653ae795-863e-4baf-8f6a-a1102b6893ce.jpg?v=1683321526","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gulag-voices-anne-applebaum-9780300177831","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
