One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich

<p><b>FROM THE PUBLISHER OF <i>THE GULAG ARCHIPELAGO</i> - THE OFFICIALLY APPROVED TRANSLATION OF SOLZHENITSYN'S SEARING DEBUT NOVEL</b><br><br>The Gulag the Stalinist labour camps to which millions of Russians were condemned for political deviation has become a household word in the West. This is due to the accounts of many witnesses but most of all to the publication in 1962 of <i>One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich</i> the novel that first brought Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn to public attention. His story of one typical day in a labour camp as experienced by prisoner Ivan Denisovich Shukhov is sufficient to describe the entire world of the Soviet camps.<br><br>Translated from the Russian by H. T. Willetts</p>
