One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich

Story
Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn’s startling book led, almost 30 years later, to Glasnost, Perestroika, and the "Fall of the Wall". One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich brilliantly portrays a single day, any day, in the life of a single Russian soldier who was captured by the Germans in 1945 and who managed to escape a few days later. Along with millions of others, this soldier was charged with some sort of political crime, and since it was easier to confess than deny it and die, Ivan Denisovich "confessed" to "high treason" and received a sentence of 10 years in a Siberian labor camp.

Story
From his perspective in Renaissance Italy, Machiavelli's aim in this classic work was to resolve conflict with the ruling prince, Lorenzo de Medici. Machiavelli based his insights on the way people really are rather than an ideal of how they should be. This is the world's most famous master plan for seizing and holding power. Astonishing in its candor The Prince even today remains a disturbingly realistic and prophetic work on what it takes to be a prince, a king, or a president.

Story
A truly original book in every sense of the word, The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows poetically defines emotions that we all feel but don’t have the words to express - until now. By turns poignant, relatable, and mind-bending, the definitions include whimsical etymologies drawn from languages around the world, interspersed with otherworldly collages and lyrical essays that explore forgotten corners of the human condition - from astrophe, the longing to explore beyond the planet Earth, to zenosyne, the sense that time keeps getting faster.

Searching for meaning in what Nietzsche once called “the rainbow colors” around the outer edges of knowledge and imagination, Edward O. Wilson bridges science and philosophy to create a 21st century treatise on human existence. Once criticized for his over-reliance on genetics, Wilson unfurls here his most expansive and advanced theories on human behavior, recognizing that, even though the human and spider evolved similarly, the poet’s sonnet is wholly different than the spider’s web.

Story
In his first novel, A Happy Death, written when he was in his early 20s and retrieved from his private papers following his death in 1960, Albert Camus laid the foundation for The Stranger, focusing in both works on an Algerian clerk who kills a man in cold blood. But he also revealed himself to an extent that he never would in his later fiction. For if A Happy Death is the study of a rule-bound being shattering the fetters of his existence, it is also a remarkably candid portrait of its author as a young man.

Publisher's Summary
Elegantly styled, Camus' profoundly disturbing novel of a Parisian lawyer's confessions is a searing study of modern amorality.

Wow Wow Wow
I thought about this book for a while after I initially read it. I had heard of Albert Camus and actually picked up The Stranger and The Fall outside of my apartment building (someone left them out for free.) I felt Camus follow me everywhere as I saw The Fall at a second hand book store. I read it pretty quickly and felt I didn’t fully retain the book but craved to read it again. I thought about it a great deal and bought the audible book to listen since it was a different approach to sitting down and reading.
I was absolutely captivated. As I walked throughout the streets of Manhattan to see a friend I was craving to listen to more. I hung on every word, any free time or just aimless activity I listened. Tomorrow I’ll do the same. The idea of doubles and the representative of no particular somebody’s but us as a whole is just incredible. Absolutely brilliant, I can’t wait to analyze it even more.

It is Camus
It is difficult to be critical of anything written by Camus. Though artfully done this is my least favorite of his works.
Again, it is artfully done. But, it is a first person narrative by a character I would describe as a boar.

Good book to get yo know the classic author. beautiful prose. I think it would have been easier to follow the story reading rather than listening as there are underlying philosophical truths. However it is read well and it is a monologue of someone telling another his story.

Honestly how did this book become required reading in so many educational institutions. This can only be explained by the systematic marketing of the French culture as superior during the colonial period.
