Publisher's Summary
One of the most extraordinary literary documents to have emerged from the Soviet Union, this is the story of labor camp inmate Ivan Denisovich Shukhov and his struggle to maintain his dignity in the face of Communist oppression. Based on the author’s own experience in the gulags, where he spent nearly a decade as punishment for making derogatory remarks against Stalin, the novel is an unforgettable portrait of the entire world of Stalin’s forced work camps. An instant classic upon publication in 1962, it confirmed Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s international stature as “a literary genius whose talent matches that of Dostoevsky, Turgenev, Tolstoy” (Harrison Salisbury).

Hard to understand narrator
Came through with tinny sound and a flat affect. I found another Audible recorded version

Solzhenitsyn's a legend
I almost never re-read books, but I re-read this one. A clear and concise fictional but realistic account of a day in the life of a Soviet gulag prisoner written so compellingly that you feel like you're really there too.

Audio Issues
The only issue I found with this book was the microphone recording inconsistently. Even sentence to sentence there are a couple rather jarring examples where the narrator sounds completely different. Otherwise no issues. Good listen.

Chilling
This was eye opening and very telling. Things that were done less than 100 years ago.
All under the pretense of ideology
