İvan Denisoviç'in Bir Günü

One Day of Ivan Denisovich, which aroused both literary and political repercussions around the world when it was published, is the first novel to bring Stalinist oppression to literature.

Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn's One Day of Ivan Denisovich tells about people trying to protect their honor and dignity in the face of brutal living and working conditions in concentration camps. It depicts how the prisoners, who hold on to life in a dirty, cold and unfair environment, resist the inhumane order. After escaping from the Germans in the Second World War, the hero of the novel, Ivan Denisovich, is detained and exiled by the Soviet government on suspicion of being a spy. He will spend ten years in exile in Siberia under the ice, under the threat of hunger and beatings. The novel, which Solzhenitsyn wrote based on his own memories, had a great impact in the Soviet Union when it was published in 1962, and was quickly confiscated and banned. A novel that should be read to understand the political pressure of the Stalinist period on writers.

"Until Doctor Zhivago, no first novel had aroused as much excitement and created a storm in modern Russian literature as the rare work One Day of Ivan Denisovich."
