Title: One Day in the Life of Ivan DenisovichĬomments: As this is a vintage book, there is some damage to the spine, and to the front cover.

This short novel is courageous writing about survival in the most inhumane conditions, the nature of tyrannical oppression and the erosion of personal identity. Writing from personal experience as a captive of Stalin’s, Solzhenitsyn depicts life in the Siberian labour camp as brutal and unyielding – as may be expected, food and privation play a central role in the disturbing narrative.
