Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In Fragments of Lives, Gulag survivor Jacques Rossi opens a window onto everyday life inside the notorious Soviet prison camp through a series of portraits of inmates and camp personnel across all walks of lifefrom workers to peasants, soldiers, civil servants, and party apparatchiks. Featuring Rossis original illustrations and written in a tone as sharp and dry as that of Russian writer Varlam Shalamov, Rossis vignettes are also filled with surprising humor. A former agent in the Spanish Civil War and a lifelong Communist, Rossi never considered himself a victim. Instead, in the manner of Primo Levi, Solzhenitsyn, and Margaret Buber-Neumann, he sought to share and transmute his experience within the living hell of the Gulag. In so doing, he gives voice to the inmates whose lives were shattered by one of the most corrupt and repressive regimes of the twentieth century. An impassioned reminder to always question ones beliefs, to have the courage to give up ones illusions at the risk of ones life, Fragments of Lives lays bare, with acute observations and biting wit, the falsity of the Soviet utopia that transformed Rossis home into a huge Potemkin village, a farcical sham dissimulating oceans of mud and blood. In Fragmented Lives, Gulag survivor Jacques Rossi opens a window onto everyday life inside the notorious Soviet prison camp through a series of portraits of inmates and camp personnel across all walks of life--from workers to peasants, soldiers, civil servants, and party apparatchiks.
