A common carpenter, he is one of millions viciously imprisoned for countless years on baseless charges, sentenced to the waking nightmare of the Soviet work camps in Siberia. Even in the face of degrading hatred, where life is reduced to a bowl of gruel and a rare cigarette, hope and dignity prevail. This powerful novel of fact is a scathing indictment of Communist tyranny, and an eloquent affirmation of the human spirit. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe prodigious works of Alexander Solzhenitsyn, including his acclaimed \u003ci\u003eThe Gulag Archipelago, \u003c\/i\u003e have secured his place in the great tradition of Russian literary giants.
