mecamylamine Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) I'm doing my IA on political prisoners...And I need to find a book that's written by a political prisoner..or a book that contains something written by a political prisoner..because I already have a book, "the man who stayed behind", and I want to compare the experiences of political prisonerr....I just need something to compare it with, "The man who stayed behind" is written by a political prisoner in China..

Abu Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 How about: 'One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich' by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn? (wow I spelt that correctly in my first shot) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeStijl Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Although this is more or less along the same lines as [i][/i]One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich[i][/i], how about [i][/i]Survival in Auschwitz[i][/i] by Primo Levi? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibislife Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 These are good examples, and I personally really like [i]One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich[/i]. However, I would advice you to ask your teacher before bringing up more fictious (but still realist first-hand accounts, of course,) literature into your essay.

Ruan Chun Xian Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 You want 'real' accounts, not fictionous novels right? Prison diary (獄中日記) by Ho Chi Minh? Written in Hanyu originally which might or might not help with the comparison of your Chinese account. You can search for it on the internet and get some poems though probably not the whole set. Then again...they're a set of poems so it might be a bit hard to compare? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
