Book Discussion: One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich
“Can a man who's warm understand one who's freezing?”
Please join the English Society for a discussion of
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's ONE DAY IN THE LIFE OF IVAN DENISOVICH (1962)
Wednesday, October 30th at 8pm
Opus Ground Floor Lounge
"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.'"
