Synopsis

In this, the only English translation authorised by Aleksandr Solzhenitzyn, ONE DAY IN THE LIFE OF IVAN DENISOVICH stands as a classic of contemporary literature. It is an unforgettable portrait of the world of Stalin's forced work camps, and remains one of the most extraordinary literary documents of its time. It confirmed Solzhenitzyn's stature as "a literary genius whose talent matches that of Dostoevsky, Turgenev, Tolstoy".
