Hard work does not always pay off. More so when you are a prisoner in a Gulag labour camp. And like some kind of a secret known to us all, it's cope with a mind-over-matter mindset. This pays off despite the harsh and unfair game of survival of the fittest under a temperature of -14 °C. A day may feel like an eternity but this one day in Ivan Denisovich's life, amidst the small hiccups through ordinary display of abuse and power, is slow and mostly okay. Interestingly, if not for its unforgettable setting, this may all seem eerily familiar and frightening. All the toiling, the exhaustion, the futile efforts of working to live and living to work—minus the visible prison bars, camp guards, and explicit rules—are synonymous to a prison themselves. But there's got to be a way out, isn't it? ( ![]() What can I say about this book? It was gripping, powerful, enlightening. It is the story of a single day in the life of a man in a labor camp in Russia. It starts when he rises and ends when he goes to bed at night. I had no idea what someone's life would be like in that circumstance. I presumed it would be horrible. I wasn't that wrong. The amazing thing is the hopefulness and resilience of the human spirit. This man (and the other men in the camp) go from one small task to the next task, taking what precious moments for themselves that they can get, weighing everything as to whether it is worth the consequences of disobedience. Sometimes it is. They look out for each other - they are comrades, after all. Some of them can't be trusted and they are avoided. Each one is only trying to make it through one more day. Many of the men know they will never get out of this camp, but they still need to make it through one more day. It was an astounding book. Although the theme is depressing the actual story is not depressing. Where there is life, there is hope. This book reminded me of the boiling frog fable describing a frog being slowly boiled alive. Humans can bear the most inhumane conditions and can inflict the most inhumane conditions upon others. It has also a very important historical value in light of today’s rise of authoritarian governments, mass manipulation, and millions of people imprisoned in different types of inhumane conditions. BG-2 Marvellously written, and deeply moving. This story, a telling of a day of a gulag prisoner's life, will make you re-evaluate the idea of happiness and a good day. Brilliant throughout, with humour despite the dark content.
This quiet tale has struck a powerful blow against the return of the horrors of the Stalin system. For Solzhenitsyn's words burn like acid.
