Journey into the Whirlwind is Eugenia Semyonovna Ginzburg's
courageous memoir of her harrowing eighteen-year odyssey through
the Soviet Union's prisons and labor camps. By the late 1930s,
Eugenia Semyonovna Ginzburg had been a loyal and very active member
of the Communist Party for many years. Yet like millions of others
who suffered during Stalin's reign of terror, she was arrested--on
trumped-up charges of being a Trotskyist terrorist and
counter-revolutionary--and sentenced to prison. With an amazing eye
for detail, profound strength, and an indefatigable spirit,
Ginzburg recounts the years, days, and minutes she endured in
prisons and labor camps, including two years of solitary
confinement. A classic account of survival, Journey into the
Whirlwind is considered one of the most important documents of
Stalin's regime. "Stands side by side with Nadezhda Mandelstam's
memoirs and Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag Archipelago."--Hannah Arendt,
author of The Origins of Totalitarianism "An intensely personal and
passionately felt document in which every syllable clangors with
awful authenticity."--Time
