It is a powerful book. This author paints an honest and clear picture of his time in a Russian labour camp. It does go into detail the treachery of the various methods of punishment of his captors. What drew me in the most was the description of the psychological transformation of the inmates. To read this without digesting the mental impact is to do a great disservice to yourself. It is one of those works that really adjusts your perspective on life and society. I plan to read, of course, Dostoevsky's "House of the Dead" and Alexander Solzhenitsyn's work on the subject of Russian labor camps. It's such a shame that the world appears to have forgotten this aspect of history and lumped it with the rest of the horrors of World War II. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Gustaw Herling's A World Apart is one of the most important books about Soviet camps and communist ideology in the Stalinist period. First published in English in 1951 and translated into many languages, it was relatively unknown till Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag Archipelago in the 1970s. However, the narrative of the author's experience in the Jertsevo gulag was highly appreciated by Bertrand Russell, Albert Camus, Jorge Semprun and others. In this first monograph on Herling's fascinating life, Bolecki discusses hitherto unknown documents from the writer's archive in Naples. His insight into the subject and poetics of Herling's book and the account of its remarkable reception offer readers an intriguing profile of one of the most compelling witnesses of the 20thcentury.
