The Love-Girl and the Innocent: A Play Solzhenitsyn AleksandrPaperback
The action of this full-length play is set in 1945 in a Stalinist slave-labor camp similar to the one where the author himself served an eight-year term. He tries desperately to keep his honor and self-respect while she tries to convince him that he must compromise.The love story is told gradually and intermittently against the background of labor-camp life. It is basically a love story of two prisoners: Nemov, the "innocent," a new prisoner who is unwilling to compromise in order to survive, and Lyuba, a girl who tells him that in the labor camp integrity is a passport to death.
Finally the "innocent" realizes that if he will share Lyuba with one of the higher-ups, he will then have everything: extra food, a comfortable job The large number of characters on stage, working, arguing and fighting, emphasizes the cruel, unprivate world in which the pair have to live their lives.
