Alexander Solzhenitsyn
1962
Novella
Drama
A third-person narrator tells the story One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich mostly from Ivan Denisovich Shukhov's point of view. The narrator's commentary is similar to Shukhov's perceptions but occasionally goes beyond his limitations.
One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich is written in the past tense.
The title One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich refers to a typical, but good (or at least better than most), day for political prisoner Ivan Denisovich Shukhov, who is serving a 10-year sentence in a Soviet labor camp.
