It became the laboratory of the Gulag, where the techniques of labour-camp exploitation were developed. Prisoners died by the hundreds both within the walls of the monastery and in the frozen forests beyond. Yet the camp's activities in cultural re-education were surprisingly extensive. With the connivance of part of the administration, Solovki became a unique cultural citadel, where the values of a dying intelligentsia were reflected in the works and words of the prisoners, who numbered not only poets and actors but also figures such as the revered Russian scholar Dmitrii Likhachev (1906-99).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndrea Gullotta's thoroughly documented study reconstructs the cultural history of the camp and provides an in-depth analysis of the literary works published in the press of the Solovki camp up until 1930, thus changing the current research frame on Gulag literature and shedding light on the extraordinary fight of an isolated group of men for intellectual freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndrea Gullotta is lecturer in Russian at the University of Glasgow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrea Gullotta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1781886911\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781781886915\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Legenda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/26\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 370\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.88d","brand":"Andrea Gullotta","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48437041266943,"sku":"9781781886915","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_534858ed-3c4a-4dfd-abec-b6445348b020.jpg?v=1777159463","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/intellectual-life-and-literature-at-andrea-gullotta-9781781886915","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
