Solzhenitsyn's One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich Summary

Solzhenitsyn's One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Robert Porter

Alexander Solzhenitsyn was an unknown author until the publication of One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich in 1962, the book that was to win him the Nobel Prize in 1970. It is an account of a barely literate Russian peasant's surviving a single day in one of Stalin's labour camps. It depicted the intricacies and resilience of the human spirit in a style comparable with Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky. This study gauges the political and literary impact that the book has made in Russia and abroad, and examines its more universal, intrinsic qualities.
