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.

又是古拉格啊。 刚看到书名时我的第一反应如上,然后下一个念头就是“不知道和古拉格群岛有什么不同”——毕竟索尔仁尼琴的那本书给人印象太深了。 买回来看完之后发现确实有不同,比起索尔仁尼琴的回忆录手法和布尔加科夫的文学手法,这本书作为一本严肃的历史纪实著作要更为...
评分这本书,你知道它的分量,清楚它的意义,却迟迟不敢翻开。因为它是一座山,翻越它不仅需要时间、需要忍耐、更需要极大的勇气。拿起这本大部头,我屡次开始,又屡次中止,往往一个片段或是一个场景的还原描述,就足以让我落荒而逃。我只能这样鼓励着自己:翻越它,你看到的世界...

图书标签: 历史 苏联 英文原版 普利策 古拉格 Gulag 纪实 History
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.
Finalist for the 2003 National Book Award, Nonfiction.
纳粹之恶,举世皆知,而与之不相伯仲的共产主义之恶,或说斯大林之恶,无论俄国人自己,还是西方,都还不情愿面对。作者力图表现列宁执政到苏东巨变这近七十年时间里,这个被缩称为“古拉格”的奴工体系,如何管理、折磨包括作奸犯科的罪犯,和以各种名义未经审判或刑讯逼供投入这个体系的所谓“政治犯”。政治犯们所受的折磨和最终无名地死亡,其惨已经无法用言语形容。作者耙梳史料、回忆录、公开文件,最终以史家般谨严的文字一桩桩描述出来,读来如入地狱。而读完以后,我简直如同脱胎换骨,看世界的眼光都不同了。
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。
评分震撼的历史。没人翻译么,这么精彩的一本书……
评分每个人都应该读一读。
