One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich

Foreshadowing his later detailed accounts of the Soviet prison-camp system, Solzhenitsyn's classic portrayal of life in the gulag is all the more powerful for being slighter and more personal than those later monumental volumes.

Prefigurand relatarile sale detaliate ulterioare despre sistemul lagarelor de prizonieri sovietici, portretizarea clasica a vietii in gulag de catre Soljenitan este cu atat mai puternica cu cat este mai suplu si mai personala decat acele volume monumentale ulterioare.
