Biography
Anne Applebaum is a columnist and member of the editorial board of The Washington Post.
She began working as a journalist in 1988, when she moved to Poland to become the Warsaw correspondent for the Economist. She eventually covered the collapse of communism across Central and Eastern Europe, writing for a wide range of newspapers and magazines.
Returning to London in 1992, she became the Foreign Editor, and later Deputy Editor, of the Spectator magazine. Following that, she wrote a weekly column on British politics and foreign affairs, which appeared at different times in the Daily Telegraph, the Sunday Telegraph, and the Evening Standard newspapers. She covered the 1997 British election campaign as the Evening Standard's political editor. For several years, she wrote the "Foreigners" column in Slate magazine.
Her first book, Between East and West: Across the Borderlands of Europe, described a journey through Lithuania, Ukraine and Belarus, then on the verge of independence. Her second book, Gulag: A History, narrates the history of the Soviet concentration camp system and describes daily life in the camps. It makes extensive use of recently-opened Russian archives.
Over the years, her writing has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, The International Herald Tribune, Foreign Affairs, The Boston Globe, The Independent, The Guardian, Commentaire, Suddeutsche Zeitung, Newsweek, The New Criterion, The Weekly Standard, The New Republic, The New York Review of Books, The National Review, The New Statesman, The Times Literary Supplement and the Literary Review, among others. She has appeared as a guest and as a presenter on many radio and television programs, among them BBC's Newsnight, The Today Progamme, The Week in Westminster, as well as CNN, MSNBC, CBS and Sky News.

In 1992 she won the Charles Douglas-Home Memorial Trust award for journalism in the ex-Soviet Union. Between East and West won an Adolph Bentinck prize for European non-fiction in 1996.

The Gulag—a vast array of Soviet concentration camps that held millions of political and criminal prisoners—was a system of repression and punishment that terrorized the entire society, embodying the worst tendencies of Soviet communism. In this magisterial and acclaimed history, Anne Applebaum offers the first fully documented portrait of the Gulag, from its origins in the Russian Revolution, through its expansion under Stalin, to its collapse in the era of glasnost. Applebaum intimately re-creates what life was like in the camps and links them to the larger history of the Soviet Union. Immediately recognized as a landmark and long-overdue work of scholarship, Gulag is an essential book for anyone who wishes to understand the history of the twentieth century.
Winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction.

以前从来没有了解过俄罗斯的历史,突然间翻到了《古拉格》,觉得好神奇的名字,就回来买了电子书来看。 结果迅速被这段历史情节迷住了,这段历史堪称德国的集中营。 古拉格实质就是一种国家奴隶制。里面描写的场景都是很血腥的画面,生命仿佛失去了意义,变成了一种...
评分古拉格,文蛤,红色高棉,以及其他大屠杀,或许每一次悲剧事件都有各自的历史哲学文化根源,然而内容却是相差无几的。 劳改营也有自己的生态,等级制度,甚至亚文化群体。 对生命和物质资源骇人听闻的浪费。 僵化的条例那张无聊的面孔,此时露出獠牙。 饥饿是永远的主题,那些...
评分泰奥多•阿多诺说,“奥斯维辛之后,写诗也是野蛮的。”可能《古拉格:一部历史》的读者会更为领会这句名言,在啃完这部厚达700多页、甚至能算得上畅销的著作后,豆瓣上的评论竟然只有区区17篇,读书小组的小伙伴们也都不知道该写什么好。仔细想想,好像也挺合乎情理,当我们...
评分作者很客观的节选和编排了当事人回忆录。 不得不说,章节编排的很好,循序渐进。从开始一直讲到古拉格体系崩溃和后记。 每个章节中尽量出现不同观点双方的回忆录,这样做虽然做到了客观,但也使读者不知道哪一种是更为普遍。 在这样的科学编排下 大致印象是前期政治犯的特殊待...
评分版权归作者所有,任何形式转载请联系作者。 作者:宸轻箫(来自豆瓣) 来源:https://www.douban.com/note/599815969/ 从某种程度上来说,禁书反而是一个风向标,告诉我们,他们在害怕什么,掩饰什么。比如年末猝不及防的一波古拉格下架潮。关于古拉格题材的图书,国内其实早...
终于读完了,终于。
评分沉重的历史,泯灭的人性
评分穿越古拉格这一页需要太多勇气,大量的文献回忆录和访谈展现出的罕见严谨足以媲美学术著作。古拉格之于苏联一如文革之于我们,必须要不断被提起被研究被质问,只有这样,前人方能忏悔,今人才能反思,后人不致重复。借用书中一句话,杀人者还活着。杀人者永远活着。
评分看了半年!
评分震撼的历史。没人翻译么,这么精彩的一本书……
