Summary

Alexander Solzhenitsyn: The Cancer Ward

The allegorical novel The Cancer Ward, Alexander Solzhenitsyn's capital work, carries deep compassion for those suffering from a vicious disease, and at the same time presents a brilliant analysis of the cancerous state of Soviet police society. The plot of The Cancer Department, often compared to The Magic Mountain, the masterpiece by Nobel laureate Thomas Mann, follows the relationships between people in the oncology department of a provincial hospital in the Soviet Union in 1955, two years after Stalin's death.

The experience of the main character, Oleg Kostogutov, is based on the writer's personal experiences from the oncology department where Solzhenitsyn, later cured of cancer, stayed for leaving the labor camp in 1950. The patients as a group, however, represent the spectrum of characters and values ​​of the people of modern Russia, masterfully analyzed both in normal conditions and in advanced stages of the disease.
The Cancer Ward, a historically significant literary work from one of the most powerful pens of the twentieth century, is a valuable testimony of life in the Soviet Union.
