Gustav Herling's remarkable account of his experiences in a Soviet labour camp during the Second World War was instantly hailed as a classic. In one of the most moving and important books in the literature of oppression, he relates the horrors of life at Kargpol camp, where he was imprisoned for one and a half years.

Review:
"Should be published and read in every country." -Albert Camus

"In psychological and moral penetration and artistic power A World Apart equals Fyodor Dostoyevsky's House of the Dead, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich and Primo Levi's Survival in Auschwitz." -Louse Begley, New York Times Book Review
