- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956

Norski: Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn only lived 38 years on this earth.

You are misunderstanding the time span "1918-1956." It refers to the length of time that the GULAG existed - not to Solzhenitzsyn's life span.

Thank you. Much better. It is long past time for me to read the book. I believe I may have read it when I was very young, young enough that it meant very little.
