«One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich» is the novel by Alexander Solzhenitsyn, published by Triad Panther in paperback (174 pages, in English).
The novel follows a day in the life of Ivan Denisovich, a prisoner in a Soviet labour camp, marked by cold, hunger and the arbitrariness of the guards. Far from heroism, it shows the everyday resistance and dignity of those trying to survive in the gulag.
Translated into English by Gillon Aitken; the work was originally published in Russian in 1962 as «Один день Ивана Денисовича».
An essential read for those interested in Russian literature, twentieth-century classics and historical accounts of the gulag system.
Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn was a Soviet and Russian author and dissident who helped to raise global awareness of political repression in the Soviet Union, especially the Gulag prison system. He was awarded the 1970 Nobel Prize in Literature "for the ethical force with which he has pursued the indispensable traditions of Russian literature". His nonfiction work The Gulag Archipelago "amounted to a head-on challenge to the Soviet state" and sold tens of millions of copies.
