In honor of his birthday, Henry Bemis Books is proud to offer one of the first English translations of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s first, earth-shaking novel:
Solzhenitsyn, Aleksandr, One Day In The LIfe of Ivan Denisovich (Frederick A. Praeger, 1st American ed, 1st printing, softcover, 1963). LOC 63-12729. Solzhenitsyn’s first novel bears this chilling bio: “...a forty-four-year-old physicist and mathematician, served in the army until February, 1945, when he was arrested and condemned to eight years in prison. He was subsequently, sent to a concentration camp, from which he was released in 1956. Rehabilitated in 1957, he now teaches mathematics and physics in a secondary school in Ryazan.” Fifty years on, this classic has new resonance in the Age of Putin. Very good condition. HBB price: $30.
