Audiobook: Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn – “The Gulag Archipelago”

Audiobook is read by Frederick Davidson

I am a big fan of this book and I wanted to edit a cleaner version of this audiobook. This version of audiobook contains no recordings of “…volume one, section one, continued. Cassette one, side two…”, “..this book is continued on the other side of this cassette”, etc. Total length of the audiobook was shortened by more than an hour.
