One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Alexander Solzhenitsyn revolves around one man’s experience in a Soviet labor camp and how he deals with the many hardships he faces there. This prison camp is particularly harsh: prisoners must work nonstop‚ survive in cold conditions with minimal food‚ and deal with dehumanization and a lack of freedom.
