Author:Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn,John Bayley,H T Willetts
Foreshadowing his later detailed accounts of the Soviet prison-camp system, Solzhenitsyn's classic portrayal of life in the gulag is all the more powerful for being slighter and more personal than those later monumental volumes. Continuing the tradition of the great nineteenth-century Russian novelists, especially Dostoevsky and Tolstoy, Solzhenitsyn is fully worthy of them in narrative power and moral authority. His greatest work.
It's science fiction and it's extremely funny...inspired lunacy that leaves hardly a science fiction cliche alive.

—— School Library JournalA sci-fi book, packed full of adventure and humour
—— The GuardianIn his major postwar novels, the pain and earnestness of the individual’s quest for ‘meaning and design’ can be felt more intensely than perhaps anywhere else in contemporary Western prose
—— Sunday TimesAn antipodean King Lear writ gentle and tragicomic, almost Chekhovian . . . an intensely dramatic masterpiece.
—— The Australian
