Sacred Darkness
Paperback Edition: 1
Several years in a prison camp gave the author an opportunity to know people that he would never have met elsewhere: people from across 15 countries of the USSR - leading writers, professors, scientists, teachers: all great people of wisdom, of different nationalities but all
sharing the same absurd fate. Each chapter holds someones name as a title: names of people that were imprisoned with the author. Developing deep friendships, spending nights in political, philosophical and artistic discussion, these people were thrown in jail as a means of suppression. But an "enlightened" person knows how to make his time interesting.This is a story about how the Soviet system kept its brightest citizens in the dark, and yet in that darkness those prisoners forged bonds that were stronger than their confines.
