One Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovich
1,213 words
Solzhenitsyn, Aleksandr Isaevich. One day in the
life of Ivan Denisovich, New York Press, 1963. The
novel, A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich is
intentionally not sensational. It is an expose of
Stalinist labor camps, and of the Soviet system
generally, but it accomplishes this through
understatement and indirection. This work,
however, is much more than a political indictment.
Its power derives from its depiction of a man
retaining his humanity under inhumane conditions.

contexts and prepositions that surround them, are
