At the age of thirty-one, Nerzhin has survived the war years on the German front and the postwar years in a succession of Russian prisons and labor camps. His story is interwoven with the stories of a dozen fellow prisoners - each an unforgettable human being - from the prison janitor to the tormented Marxist intellectual who designed the Dnieper dam; of the reigning elite and their conflicted subordinates; and of the women, wretched or privileged, bound to these men. A landmark of Soviet literature, The First Circle is as powerful today as it was when it was first published, nearly thirty years ago.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Northwestern University Press","offers":[{"title":"First Circle | Aleksandr Isaevich Solzhenitsyn | Paperback | 9780810115903 | Used: Like New | Fiction 1716432","offer_id":48322318827672,"sku":"1716432","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61Y3mneCxKL.jpg?v=1773177276","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/first-circle","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
