Solzhenitsyn's writing gives a penetrating look at man's nature and what happens when he abandons God.
This book can teach more about the human soul than a lifetime in modern schools and universities would likely impart. In a great many parts of this book Solzhenitsyn gives the reader the understanding that we are of a body-soul unity and that we should be trying to listen more to what God is communicating to us through our soul. He communicates that this is what we were indeed designed for and not simply partaking in material pleasures and comforts (which he and most others in the workers' paradise did not have). Even in the ugliness of prison, there is still hope and salvation and his work and life is evidence of that.

Hard to put down
Only a few dozen pages in but hooked. It’s hard to stop reading it.

"The Gulag Archipelago" reviewed
For me this is the most honest and authoritative description of the Stalinist penal system ,comparable to "Darkness at Noon"
