Balmuth, Skidmore College, Choice Andrew Gentes has done a masterful job of translating the "journalese" in which Doroshevich described the unique culture that prisoners created in the process of forging an existence from so baleful an environment. [...]Doroshevich launched a career that made him the most influential journalist in pre-Revolutionary Russia from these vignettes, and Gentess translation makes evident why. -The Russian Review Andrew Gentes has here produced the first annotated English translation of Doroshevichs Sakhalin articles, collated and published in Russia in bookform first in 1903 and, as such, it is a useful contribution to the anglophone literature on Siberia as a whole. -Alan Wood, Lancaster University, Slavonic and East European Review Andrew Gentes has produced a largely fluent and readable translation. [...] This is an important addition to the field, and not only the translator, but also the publisher, Anthem Press, deserve credit for bring it to an English language audience for the first time. -Sarah J.
