A unique anthology of Gulag memoirs, edited and annotated by
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Anne Applebaum Anne Applebaum wields
her considerable knowledge of a dark chapter in human history and
presents a collection of the writings of survivors of the Gulag,
the Soviet concentration camps. 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. Gulag Voices now fills in the other half. The
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. A vital addition to the literature of this
era,annotated for a generation that no longer remembers the Soviet
Union, Gulag Voices will inform, interest, and inspire, offering a
source for reflection on human nature itself.
