Features a new foreword by Anne Applebaum. "The greatest and most powerful single indictment of a political regime ever leveled in modern times." --George F. Kennan "It is impossible to name a book that had a greater effect on the political and moral consciousness of the late twentieth century." --David Remnick, The New Yorker "Solzhenitsyn's masterpiece. . . . The Gulag Archipelago helped create the world we live in today." --Anne Applebaum, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Gulag: A History , from the foreword Review: The greatest book of the 20th century - Such a shame the horrors of the "Soviet experiment" is barely taught in schools across the Western world. Mr Solzhenitsyn tells the story in a very unique way. Dark and harrowing yet witty and humorous. A must read for any serious scholar of the Bolshevik revolution, the institutions it created and for the millions who suffered. Some of their stories live on through this work. Review: The most important book you will ever read - Where to start? The expose of the millennium, which lays bare the brutality of the USSR. A window into the human soul - our ability to twist and contort our morality to do the most heinous acts, but how, in rare cases, people do not lose their sense of morality even as the system they live in crushes them. You will be left in no doubt about the failures of utopian visions, how rhetoric and lofty ideals come to mask what is simply evil, the moral bankruptcy of socialism. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 133,783 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 3,713 in Social & Cultural History 6,129 in Poetry, Drama & Criticism 19,590 in Social Sciences (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 1,173 Reviews | ## Images ![The Gulag Archipelago [Volume 1] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71iuKEp3zkL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The greatest book of the 20th century *by P***D on 12 December 2022* Such a shame the horrors of the "Soviet experiment" is barely taught in schools across the Western world. Mr Solzhenitsyn tells the story in a very unique way. Dark and harrowing yet witty and humorous. A must read for any serious scholar of the Bolshevik revolution, the institutions it created and for the millions who suffered. Some of their stories live on through this work. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The most important book you will ever read *by E***N on 9 September 2019* Where to start? The expose of the millennium, which lays bare the brutality of the USSR. A window into the human soul - our ability to twist and contort our morality to do the most heinous acts, but how, in rare cases, people do not lose their sense of morality even as the system they live in crushes them. You will be left in no doubt about the failures of utopian visions, how rhetoric and lofty ideals come to mask what is simply evil, the moral bankruptcy of socialism. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential *by S***N on 4 December 2020* This is the best of the Gulag Archipelago trilogy, and I believe it should be compulsory reading in all secondary schools. Maybe then we wouldn't have seen everyone happily surrendering their civil liberties this year to whatever arbitrary rules governments make up as they go along. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Gulag Archipelago [Volume 2]: An Experiment in Literary Investigation - The Gulag Archipelago [Volume 3]: An Experiment in Literary Investigation - The Gulag Archipelago [Volume 1]: An Experiment in Literary Investigation --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/56103913-the-gulag-archipelago-volume-1](https://www.desertcart.es/products/56103913-the-gulag-archipelago-volume-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
