Солженицын Александр Исаевич, Solzhenitsyn Aleksandr Isaevich: One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich

First published in 1962, it is considered one of the most significant works ever to emerge from Soviet Russia. Illuminating a dark chapter in Russian history, Ivan Denisovich is at once a graphic picture of work camp life and a moving tribute to man’s will to prevail over relentless dehumanization. .
