He was sent to a northern Russian labor camp, where he spent the two most terrible years of his life. In \u003ci\u003eA World Apart\u003c\/i\u003e, he tells of the people he was imprisoned with, the hardships they endured, and the indomitable spirit and will that allowed them to survive. Above all, he creates portraits of how people - deprived of basic human necessities and forced to worked at hard labor - can come together to form a community that offers hope in the face of hopelessness, that offers life when even the living have no life left.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Should be published and read in every country.\" -Albert Camus \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"In psychological and moral penetration and artistic power \u003ci\u003eA World Apart \u003c\/i\u003eequals Fyodor Dostoyevsky's \u003ci\u003eHouse of the Dead\u003c\/i\u003e, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's \u003ci\u003eOne Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich \u003c\/i\u003eand Primo Levi's \u003ci\u003eSurvival in Auschwitz\u003c\/i\u003e.\" -Louse Begley, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57677374194038,"sku":"9780140251845","price":11.05,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_32909016.jpg?v=1776184713","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780140251845-a-world-apart","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
