Edition DescriptionAnniversary
SynopsisThe first published novel from the controversial Nobel Prize winning Russian author of The Gulag Archipelago . In the madness of World War II, a dutiful Russian soldier is wrongfully convicted of treason and sentenced to ten years in a Siberian labor camp. So begins this masterpiece of modern Russian fiction, a harrowing account of a man who has conceded to all things evil with dignity and strength. First published in 1962, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich is considered one of the most significant works ever to emerge from Soviet Russia. Illuminating a dark chapter in Russian history, it is at once a graphic picture of work camp life and a moving tribute to man's will to prevail over relentless dehumanization. Includes an Introduction by Yevgeny Yevtushenko and an Afterword by Eric Bogosian

  • Great value

    The book looks like it can be passed as almost new. It has negligible marks on the very edge of the book, but otherwise it's like new! I am very pleased with the price and the quality of this book.
