Synopsis
First published in the Soviet journal Novy Mir in 1962, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich stands as a classic of contemporary literature.
The story of labour-camp inmate Ivan Denisovich Shukhov, it graphically describes his struggle to maintain his dignity in the face of communist oppression.
An unforgettable portrait of the entire world of Stalin's forced work camps, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich is one of the most extraordinary literary documents to have emerged from the Soviet Union and confirms Solzhenitsyn's stature as "a literary genius whose talent matches that of Dosotevsky, Turgenev, Tolstoy" - Harrison Salisbury.

"This has to be the finest description of twenty-four hours in the life of a man living in the extremes of personal survival. I lived every moment of his silent torture and the book was glued to my hand and eyes until I completed it. The only annoyance I felt was because I hadn't read it much, much earlier in my life. A classic? It undoubtedly is." - Google Review.
