Identifying key themes that recur in the narratives - arrest, the stages of trial, imprisonment, labor camps, exile, escapes, special punishment, the role of chance, and deprivation - Toker discusses the historical, political, and social contexts of these accounts and the ethical and aesthetic imperative they fulfill. Toker reflects on the writings and testimonies that shed light on the veiled aspects of totalitarianism, dehumanization, and atrocity. Leona Toker organizes and characterizes both fictional narratives and survivors' memoirs as she explores the changing hallmarks of the genre from the 1920s through the Gorbachev era. It also raises question about dichotomies of historical and fictional truth"-ĬLICK HERE TO GET BOOK Book Return from the Archipelago Description/Summary:Ĭomprehensive historical survey and critical analysis of the vast body of narrative literature about the Soviet gulag. At the same time, Solzhenitsyn, viewing his own task as one of restoring historical experiences of the Russian people and trying "to explain the slow course of history and what sort of one it has been", assumed the dual role of writer and historian, which inevitably raises the question of what characterizes the borders between fact and fiction in his works. Concepts such as "document", "thing" and "fact" became important for Shalamov's self-identification as a modernist. According to Shalamov, instead of the text being a re-presentation, it should be an extract from or substitute for the real or the factual, by which his Gulag experience became present once again. By understanding the text as a "result", Solzhenitsyn critically touched on a concept of evidence, which Shalamov several times emphasized as important to his own works. Solzhenitsyn did not see a literary program in Shalamov's works, which he describes as "a result of exhaustion after years of hardship and hard labour in the camp". After a short period of personal acquaintance, their lives and views on literature took different paths. "Alexander Solzhenitsyn and Varlam Shalamov are two of the best-known Gulag writers.

Aaron Wolf, 21, had earlier claimed Japan's seventh gold in the men's half-heavyweight category as he saw off Georgia's Varlam Liparteliani on a golden score. You are a legend of judo and of sport." China's Yu Song defended her heavyweight world title in the women's event, by denying Japan an eighth gold of the championships with a win over Sarah Asahina in the final. His record-breaking feat earned the praise of French President Emmanuel Macron, who wrote on Twitter: "Bravo 9 world titles, seven years without defeat and so many records. "I'm very glad I managed to get through in the end, but I'm not going to lie to you, I'm tired, knackered." It was Riner's eighth individual world gold medal, having also led France to a men's team triumph in 2011. "There were some frights, but that's normal, coming here without a competition in my legs," he said. Riner beat Brazilian David Moura on a golden point in the final, having also needed extra time to see off Georgian Guram Tushishvili in the semi-finals. Unbeaten since September 2010, the 28-year-old has now won an incredible 134 successive fights, a run which has also produced Olympic titles in 20. French legend Teddy Riner became the first judoka in history to win nine world championship gold medals with heavyweight victory in Budapest on Saturday.
