From the icy blast of reveille through the sweet release of sleep, Ivan Denisovich endures. A common carpenter, he is one of millions viciously imprisoned for countless years on baseless charges,sentenced to the waking nightmare of the Soviet work camps in Siberia.

This powerful novel of fact is a scathing indictment of Communist tyranny, and an eloquent affirmation of the human spirit.<\/p>\n
