[This is the MP3CD audiobook format of VOLUME 1 in vinyl case.] **Time Magazine's Best Nonfiction Book of the 20th Century** In this masterpiece; Solzhenitsyn has orchestrated thousands of incidents and individual histories into one narrative of unflagging power and momentum. 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. This first volume involves us in the innocent victim's arrest and preliminary detention and the stages by which he is transferred across the breadth of the Soviet Union to his ultimate destination: the hard labor camp.

Who cannot like Huston Smith ... butBy Cove Readerthis is a section of one of his books pulled out and slapped a cover around to make it a mini novel. I am always a little annoyed when this happens and feel a bit ripped off. It is barely a chapter and not a particularly long and detailed chapter at that. He spends a good bit of time telling the Western reader has their perspective of Islam all wrong and while I appreciate him hearing that; I would rather make up my own mind based on the material he presents. I am reading it for a book club and class as part of an array of books so perhaps I will moderate my view after I converse with others.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
