A womanâs true account of eighteen years as a Soviet prisoner: âNot even Alexander Solzhenitsynâs One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich matches it.ââThe New York Times Book Review In the late 1930s, Eugenia Ginzburg was a wife and mother, a schoolteacher and writer, and a longtime loyal Communist Party member. But like millions of others during Stalinâs reign of terror, she was arrestedâon trumped-up charges of being a Trotskyist terrorist counter-revolutionaryâand sentenced to prison. With sharp detail and an indefatigable spirit, Ginzburg recounts her arrest and the eighteen harrowing years she endured in Soviet prisons and labor camps, including two in solitary confinement. Her memoir is âa compelling personal narrative of survivalâ (The New York Times Book Review)âand one of the most important documents of Stalinâs brutal regime. âDeeply significantâŚintensely personal and passionately felt.ââTime âProbably the best account that has ever been published ofâŚthe prison and camp empire of the Stalin era.ââBook World Translated by Paul Stevenson and Max Hayward
