Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The searing accounts of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Evgeniia Ginsberg and Varlam Shalamov opened the world's eyes to the terrors of the Soviet Gulag. But not until now has there been a memoir of life inside the camps written from the perspective of an actual employee of the Secret police. In this riveting memoir, superbly translated by Deborah Kaple, Fyodor Mochulsky describes being sent to work as a boss at the forced labor camp of Pechorlag in the frozen tundra north of the Arctic Circle. Only twenty-two years old, he had but a vague idea of the true nature of the Gulag. What he discovered was a world of unimaginable suffering and death, a world where men were starved, beaten, worked to death, or simply executed. Mochulsky details the horrific conditions in the camps and the challenges facing all those involved, from prisoners to guards. He depicts the power struggles within the camps between the secret police and the communist party, between the political prisoners (most of whom had been arrested for the generic crime of "counter-revolutionary activities") and the criminal convicts. And because Mochulsky writes of what he witnessed with the detachment of the engineer that he was, readers can easily understand how a system that destroyed millions of lives could be run by ordinary Soviet citizens who believed they were advancing the cause of socialism. Mochulsky remained a communist party member his entire life-he would later become a diplomat-but was deeply troubled by the gap between socialist theory and the Soviet reality of slave labor and mass murder. This unprecedented memoir takes readers into that reality and sheds new light on one of the most harrowing tragedies of the 20th century. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

KOVÁLY, HEDA MARGOLIUS. Innocence : or, Murder on Steep Street. Translated from the Czech by Alex Zucker. New York: Soho Crime, 2015, 1st printing number line ending in 1, xvii, 234pp., . "This rediscovered gem of Czech literature, a crime novel by renowned Holocaust memoirist Heda Margolius Kovaly, depicts a chilling moment in history, redolent with the stifling atmosphere of political and personal oppression of the early days of Socialist Czechoslovakia. In 1985, Czech Holocaust memoirist, literary translator, and political exile Heda Margolius Kovaly turned her pen to fiction. Inspired by the stories of Raymond Chandler, Kovaly knit her own terrifying experiences in early 1950s Socialist Prague -- her husband's imprisonment and wrongful execution, her own persecution at his disgrace -- into a gorgeous psychological thriller-cum-detective novel. Set in and around a cinema where a murder was recently committed, Innocence follows the unfolding of the investigation while telling the stories of the women who work there as ushers, each of whom is forced to support herself in difficult circumstances. As the novel brings this group alive, it tells their various life stories that have brought them to this job, the secrets they share with one another, and the secrets they keep. When the detective trying to solve the first murder is found slain by the cinema, all of their secrets come into the light. A smart, evocative, and deeply stirring literary crime novel with international appeal"-- Provided by publisher., "In 1985, Czech Holocaust memoirist, literary translator, and political exile Heda Margolius Kovaly turned her pen to fiction.

Figures in a western landscape: men and women of the northern Rockies. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1994, xii, 222pp., . Series: Creating the North American landscape The northern Rocky Mountains and adjacent high plains were the last American West. Here was the final enactment of our national drama - the last explorations, the final battles of the Indian wars, the closing of the frontier., In Figures in a Western Landscape, award-winning biographer Elizabeth Stevenson humanizes the history of the region with a procession of individual lives moving across the generations. Each of the sixteen men and women depicted has left behind his or her own unique written record or oral history. They have bequeathed to us stories that are rich in revealing anecdote and colorful detail. Among them., Meriwether Lewis, America's "most introspective explorer," whose journals provide the first English-language record of the Northwest's rivers, mountains, and plains - and offer a memorable account of how their newness struck his imagination., John Kirk Townsend, among the first Western explorers who sought neither personal wealth nor fame but the advancement of scientific knowledge. Known to the friendly Chinooks as "the bird chief," he lacked the artistic skills of his contemporary, Audubon, and relied instead on gathering specimens (and was more than once forced by hunger to eat them)., James and Granville Stuart, early settlers lured by rumors of gold in the 1850s, who crossed three dangerous rivers on a 150-mile trek through the wilderness because they had heard rumors of an even rarer commodity - books. (They bought five, at the "very stiff" price of five dollars apiece: a volume each of Shakespeare and Byron, a life of Napoleon, a French Bible, and Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations.)., Pretty-Shield, wife of the Crow scout who warned Custer to turn back at Little Big Horn, who "hated no one, not even the white man," and who told her story to an astonished interpreter in the 1930s., In a concluding chapter, Stevenson draws on previously unpublished material to reveal new information about Martha Jane Cannary Burke, better known as Calamity Jane, the woman who could ride, shoot, and drive a mule team as well as any man (but who once failed to "pass" because she didn't cuss her mules like one) and who lies buried in Deadwood, South Dakota, next to the man some said was her husband, Wild Bill Hickok., These and other men and women whose stories Stevenson tells all helped to shape - and were in turn shaped by - the uniquely challenging landscape of America's "last West." Their words and actions, here rediscovered, give vivid color to a climactic chapter in American history. - CONTENTS: 1. The Soliloquies of Meriwether Lewis -- 2. Fur Trapper: Osborne Russell -- 3.
