Where is this quotation from

>>8019810

a big part of his books when he describes which he didn't witness himself or tries to estimate the whole picture it's gossip and his own crude estimations without any factual data

One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich is his best work. A good short story that actually gives you an experience of existing somewhere in Gulag without made up things or whining sentiments (that present in his other works).

anyone read his 'Cancer Ward'?

Any good work by him on Nationalism? Hard to find translations of his essay work

I read August 1914 and really enjoyed it, it's one of my favorite historical novels

Yep, drags on a bit but is a pretty good account of the time and human condition, but the depressing permeates

Cancer Ward does drag a bit, and it reads a little flat at times (limpo cancer patient scoring two hot nurses...)

But it's not without it's charms. He employs a particularly genius narrative technique of shifting from character to character as if he were making rounds.

has anyone read the full gulag archipelago?

>>8019899
fucking hated it

i read day in a life, bretty good

his speech at harvard is hilarious

would not recommend wasting time on the whole archipelago

It's from the book "The secret behind communism" by David Duke. He is referring to a meeting between him and Alexander in 2002( I think it was) where Alexander told him this. Since the name David Duke automatically results in dismissal of whatever is being said I'll just add the fact that the book "Two Hundred Years Together" has not to this day been translated into English.
