“ If you've never read this story, you are missing out. It's about a Russian soldier in WWII who is captured by the Germans, but quickly escapes. The Russians did not believe anyone could escape from the Germans, so anyone who did was sent to the Gulag. In Ivan's case, he was sentenced to 10,000 days hard labor...this novel by acclaimed Russian author Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, chronicles one day in Ivan's life while imprisoned by his own people. If you enjoy a good read, this story will make you experience hunger, thirst, happiness, sadness, fear, triumph, failure, pride, shame, and most other human emotions you can think of. That's fairly amazing considering it's only about 200 pages long”
