Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

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.

Reseña del editor

From the icy blast of reveille through the sweet release of sleep, Ivan Denisovich endures. A common carpenter, he is one of millions viciously imprisoned for countless years on baseless charges, sentenced to the waking nightmares of the Soviet work camps in Siberia. Even in the face of degrading hatred, where life is reduced to a bowl of gruel and a rare cigarette, hope and dignity prevail. This powerful novel of fact is a scathing indictment of Communist tyranny, and an eloquent affirmation of the human spirit.
