"Cancer Ward" examines the relationship of a group of people in the cancer ward of a provincial Soviet hospital in 1955, two years after Stalin's death. We see them under normal circumstances, and also reexamined at the eleventh hour of illness. Together they represent a remarkable cross-section of contemporary Russian characters and attitudes. The experiences of the central character, Oleg Kostoglotov, closely reflect the author's own: Solzhenitsyn himself became a patient in a cancer ward in the mid-1950s, on his release from a labor camp, and later recovered. Translated by Nicholas Bethell and David Burg. No library descriptions found. |

Es hat mir sehr gefallen, obwohl es ziemlich traurig ist. Krankheit ist nicht die einzige Ursache, sondern auch die Beschreibung der Umständnisse, die persönlichen Geschichten von Patienten die einerseits die Hoffnung haben besser zu werden und andererseits glauben bald zu sterben.
Jetzt is Band II dran. ( )
