SOLZHENITSYN, Alexander.

Item Number: 2811

New York: Harper & Row, 1973-, 1978.

First editions of each volume of the Nobel Prize-winning author’s masterwork. Octavo, original cloth. Volumes one and two are inscribed and dated by Solzhenitsyn. Each are near fine to fine in excellent dust jackets showing light wear. Exceptionally scarce signed by the author.

Written in a tone that encompasses Olympian wrath, bitter calm, savage irony and sheer comedy, it combines history, autobiography, documentary and political analysis as it examines in its totality the Soviet apparatus of repression from its inception following the October Revolution of 1917.
