Gustaw Herling's A World Apart is one of the most important books
about Soviet camps and communist ideology in the Stalinist period.
First published in English in 1951 and translated into many
languages, it was relatively unknown till Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag
Archipelago in the 1970s. However, the narrative of the author's
experience in the Jertsevo gulag was highly appreciated by Bertrand
Russell, Albert Camus, Jorge Semprun and others. In this first
monograph on Herling's fascinating life, Bolecki discusses hitherto
unknown documents from the writer's archive in Naples. His insight
into the subject and poetics of Herling's book and the account of
its remarkable reception offer readers an intriguing profile of one
of the most compelling witnesses of the 20th century.
