Solzhenitsyn's the Blue Log Archipelago

Solzhenitsyn always said, the final note in the work is hope and catharsis. The third volume of the Blue Log archipelago is hopeful in a different way - it's the story of resistance going back to Lenin's times. In 8,000 prisoners, political and criminals alike establish self-government in a Soviet camp. Solzhenitsyn finds something indo-bling in his efforts to free himself from totalitarian domination.
