The second volume of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's monumental work, 'The Gulag Archipelago', offers a shocking and well-documented testimony of political repression in the Soviet Union. With overwhelming fidelity, Solzhenitsyn describes the reign of terror that prevailed in the Soviet internment and punishment camps during the 20th century. This volume collects three of the seven parts that make up the complete work, detailing the atrocities and tricks that prisoners had to resort to in order to survive.
Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn was a Soviet and Russian author and dissident who helped to raise global awareness of political repression in the Soviet Union, especially the Gulag prison system. He was awarded the 1970 Nobel Prize in Literature "for the ethical force with which he has pursued the indispensable traditions of Russian literature". His nonfiction work The Gulag Archipelago "amounted to a head-on challenge to the Soviet state" and sold tens of millions of copies.
