Synopsis:
Highlighted by a new introduction by Yevgeny Yevtushenko, a brutal depiction of life in a Stalinist camp and a moving tribute to man's triumph over relentless dehumanization in a novel said to be one of the most outspoken and significant literary documents ever to come out of Soviet Russia. Reprint.
Review: Solzhenitsyn's first book, this economical, relentless novel is one of the most forceful artistic indictments of political oppression in the Stalin-era Soviet Union. The simply told story of a typical, grueling day of the titular character's life in a labor camp in Siberia, is a modern classic of Russian literature and quickly cemented Solzhenitsyn's international reputation upon publication in 1962. It is painfully apparent that Solzhenitsyn himself spent time in the gulags--he was imprisoned for nearly a decade as punishment for making derogatory statements about Stalin in a letter to a friend.
