One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich

by Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn
Translated by: H. T. Willetts

Farrar, Straus & Giroux, Incorporated | January 2, 1992 | Trade Paperback

The only English translation authorized by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
First published in the Soviet journal "Novy Mir" in 1962, "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" stands as a classic of contemporary literature. The story of labor-camp inmate Ivan Denisovich Shukhov, it graphically describes his struggle to maintain his dignity in the face of communist oppression. An unforgettable portrait of the entire world of Stalin's forced work camps, "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" is one of the most extraordinary literary documents to have emerged from the Soviet Union and confirms Solzhenitsyn's stature as "a literary genius whose talent matches that of Dosotevsky, Turgenev, Tolstoy"--Harrison Salisbury
This unexpurgated 1991 translation by H. T. Willetts is the only authorized edition available and fully captures the power and beauty of the original Russian.

I want to appreciate life the way Ivan Denisovich Shukov does.

I want to take pride in my work; I want to taste every bite of sausage, suck the marrow out of every fish bone, enjoy every puff of every cigarette, bask in a sunset, watch the moon cross the sky, fall asleep content; I want focus on the necessities of living, but I have too much. It's not much compared to most everyone I know, but it is still too much.

And because it is too much I can't appreciate life the way Ivan Denisovich Shukov does. Reading about it is not enough, but right now it is what I have.

I'll keep trying.
