Compte-rendu de la journée type d'un prisonnier d'un goulag, Choukhov, un personnage composite crée par l'auteur à partir de son expérience personnelle. Nous sommes témoins des états d'âme et des différentes "tâches" abrutissantes que ce condamné doit accomplir. Nous nous apercevons avec malaise que les plus endurcis réussissent à se satisfaire de peu. Bizarre tout de même de lire ce récit se déroulant dans une Sibérie glaciale à Montréal dans un climat si doux!

The value in this book lied in the historical significance for me, and it's ability to help us understand just what kind of conditions those condemned to the gulags experienced, and the mindsets they had to adopt in order to survive an often unsurvivable situation.
A must-read for people wanting to understand what conditions political prisoners, or those condemned due to being social anomalies, had and have to face in Russia and places all around the world throughout time.
