One of the most important testimonies of a gulag prisoner and at the same time one of the most significant works in the history of Polish - and world - literature of the 20th century.
A shocking vivisection of the mechanisms of Soviet totalitarianism and a picture of human nature exposed to the gravest of tests. In a word: a book that, as Albert Camus said, "should be published and read in all countries of the world."
"These are stories of the unimaginable savagery and debasement of humanity, but also - of the heroic search for hope and freedom, love and friendship, i.e. feelings that the camp was supposed to have completely destroyed." Włodzimierz Bolecki
