Cancer Ward - (FSG Classics) by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (Paperback)

A masterpiece of world literature, Cancer Ward by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn is a deeply compassionate study of people facing terminal illness and a brilliant dissection of the cancerous Soviet police state.

Set in a provincial Soviet hospital in 1955, two years after Stalin's death, this seminal work offers an extraordinary portrait of life in the Soviet Union.

With a focus on the relationship of a group of people in the cancer ward and their experiences closely reflecting the author's own, this novel is both a literary event of the first magnitude and the most moving of Solzhenitsyn's novels.

Don't miss out on the opportunity to read this extraordinary work that has been compared to The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann.
