Additional Information
1. The Gulag Archipelago is a history and memoir of life in the Soviet Union's prison camp system. It was written by Russian novelist Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. The word Gulag is a Russian acronym for the Soviet government agency that supervised the vast network of labour camps. The book traces the history of the system of forced labour camps that existed in the Soviet Union from 1918 to 1956.
2. The novel addresses numerous philosophical themes, and through multiple narratives is a powerful argument both for a stoic integrity and humanism. Like other Solzhenitsyn works, the book illustrates the difficulty of maintaining dignity within a system designed to strip its inhabitants of it.
