About this title: It is estimated that some three million people died in the Soviet forced-labour camps of Kolyma, in the northeastern area of Siberia. Shalamov himself spent seventeen years there, and in these stories he vividly captures the lives of ordinary people caught up in terrible circumstances, whose hopes and plans extended to further than a few hours. This new enlarged edition combines two collections previously published in the United States as Kolyma Tales and Graphite.

"Up to 3 million people died in the Gulags in Kolyma in the NE part of Siberia (separated from Alaska by the Bering Straight at 55 miles). Shalamov himself spent 17 years there from 1937-1954. These stories are brilliant. They bring to life the horrible and unspeakable atrocities committed against so many during the Stalinist era."
"Disturbing. In some ways, this book is actually better than Solzhenitsyn's stuff. Shalamov writes such short, concise stories that carry so much emotional punch. There is even one story that is only one paragraph long that is more disturbing than an entire novel. I love Shalamov, especially for his aesthetics."
