ALEXANDER SOLZHENITSYN - The Love-Girl and the Innocent.

Harmondsworth, England, Penguin Plays, 1972. Reprint, Binding: Softcover, Good. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall 0140481095 Paperback Slight crease to corner front cover. Very slight foxing to end inside covers. Drawing on his personal experience, the Nobel-Prize-winning author sets this play in a Stalinist slave camp in 1945. His vivid dramatization creates a terrifying picture of the despair and dedragation suffered under a merciless camp regime. The 'Innocent' is a new arrival to the camp who is reluctant to adopt the sordid techniques of survival. His love for Lyuba, one of the many girls forced by circumstances to sell themselves for privileges and rations, tempts him to compromise with himself and betray his moral and emotional loyalties.
