在我看来,“古拉格”代表着一种违背天理、国法、人情的畸形社会系统。这本书讲述前苏联古拉格,以其创建到灭亡为主线,搜集大量资料以及案例,通过当事人的故事以及作者的描述,完整地刻画出“古拉格”这个体系以及社会现象的面貌。所有有良知的人,在阅读完这部作品之后,都...
评分 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...
评分到2016年圣诞节,苏联解体已经过去25年了。在这个时代说起纳粹的集中营,几乎没有人会为之辩护。但是说到古拉格,你可以找到一堆奇谈怪论的说词。我觉得任何人谈到古拉格应该像谈到纳粹的集中营一样。马加丹,沃尔库塔,诺里尔斯克这样的名字应该与奥斯维辛,布痕瓦尔德...

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.
