First American edition of the Nobel Prize-winning author's first book. Octavo, original boards. Inscribed and dated by Solzhenitsyn. Fine in a near fine dust jacket with light wear. A beautiful copy; rare signed and inscribed.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn's first book, is an "economical, relentless novel is one of the most forceful artistic indictments of political oppression in the Stalin-era Soviet Union" (The New York Times). The simply told story of a typical, grueling day of the titular character's life in a labor camp in Siberia, is a modern classic of Russian literature and quickly cemented Solzhenitsyn's international reputation upon publication. "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich yields, more than anything else, a beautiful sense of its author as a Chekhovian figure: simple, free of literary affectation, wholly serious" (The New Republic).
