I have read the book (in danish) and Ivan wasn't a carpenter, but a red army soldier who fled he's german captures and was accused of being a spy.

[missvulturegirl]

he was a carpenter until he joined the army

Thought the book was good but the film was awful.

[PunkBuster123]

sry for being offensive but i've found the book incredibly boring that i fell a asleep in the first 30 pages

[rebank1]

You must read it in Russian. Excellent work of literature!

[PunkBuster123]

u mean the russian version? because i didnt read it IN russian

[rebank1]

How can you say it is boring, then?

[PunkBuster123]

i guess its because we had to analyze the book in detail for english

[PunkBuster123]

but this vid looks interesting

[HJNitu]

sometimes books are like that,but must carry on reading and they become great after 50-80 pages, it is worth it

[heliotropezzz333]

This is one of my favourite books. It's the whole point that his life is very boring from a normal perspective, but not from the perspective of a prisoner. His life is incredibly hard and at risk all the time and the smallest things give him a sense of survival and triumph. I like this book because you never feel hard done by or sorry for yourself again after reading this. It is anti-depressant in effect and shows how resilient the human spirit can be under the most difficult circumstances.

Nice comments on Solzhenitsyn's book. I have to wonde though, this footage is about American POWs in Japanese occupied Phillippines in WWII. The conditions were certainly comparable but that was the tropics. I doubt that Bolshevics would have allowed their victims to be buried w/ crosses either.

he leído el livro cuando tenía 11 años, grande livro de Alexader Solzhenitsyn

This paints a bad picture of the book. While it was conveying the wretched life of political prisoners it was also showing the resolve of the Russian people and how socialism and/or legalism can satisfy basic human needs, on a small scale.

I wonder if was easier to fight (for dignity or freedom, etc.) when the enemy was so very clear..the enemy is so serreptitious today, soothing us with comforts and distractions (e.g. television) I believe people today still have courage and want to stand up for what's right, they simply don't know who the enemy is and are far too uneducated to begin to learn

[demandred753]

I love this book. So far, I've read it about twice. I think it's time for another re-read when I finally graduate college.

[sirdavidbowie]

A must read book - one of alexanders best works.

[wildbill1911A1]

I remember reading this book when I was in High School in the late 1960's. It reminded me that there were evil people in the world, and how important it is to stand up against them, the way Alexander Solzhenitsyn did, by writing the truth. I wonder if he had YouTube, how would that story be told today?

The book was so graphically detailed. When the author talked about the cold it would make me think what the prisoners were going through. Im glad I came across a good book for my English paper.

[liongrl15]

reading this book for english , poor Ivan!

[BlueBerryWizard]

Why are the last 2 minutes nothing but music?

[azraphon]

Great film and I wish they would release it - but this seems to be more Japanese prison camp than Siberian Gulag! Never kid a kidder!

[MrGloom]

WTF?! Thats because it is! This is from a movie called The Great Raid! It came out a few years ago! There is a movie for the book but, to the best of my knowledge it hasn't come out on DVD yet. I guess some people couldn't wait.

[MrGloom]

School project? Whoops. Dont mind me. Carry on with the good work there friend!

[azraphon]

This is very surreal. I have never seen this video before, and certainly haven't commented on it.

[TiberianKing]

Very sad but inspiring. I really like the music too, it adds the the effect.

[germanheritage1]

i love this book!!
