One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Alexander Solzhenitsyn (1973)

This story of a typical day in a Soviet labour camp in Siberia caused a sensation when it was first published in 1962 and it retains its power nearly forty years on. Ivan Denisovich is a Russian peasant who, at the end of the Second World War, was captured by the Germans. He escaped and returned to his own forces but, in the eyes of the state, he was tainted by his contact with the enemy and sentenced to a labour camp. The novel records the minutiae of Ivan Denisovich's daily routine and the small triumphs which enable him to endure. He barters successfully for extra food. A stool-pigeon among the prisoners is punished.
