«Un día en la vida de Iván Denísovich» is the novel by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, published by Maxi-Tusquets in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
Set in a Soviet labour camp during the Second World War, the novel follows a day in the life of Iván Denísovich Shújov, a prisoner condemned for treason against the motherland. Amid extreme cold, hunger and the abuses of the guards, Shújov faces the day with a dignity that turns the narrative into a harrowing testimony of survival in the Gulag.
Volume 363 of the Fábula collection from Tusquets Editores, in its 2013 edition.
For readers interested in twentieth-century history and in testimonial literature about Soviet labour camps.
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.
