Krátky popis
“A vivid, moving and sometimes funny account of the reality of life
during Russia's invasion,”&,nbsp,Marc Bennetts,&,nbsp,The
Times “Uplifting and utterly defiant,”&,nbsp,Matt
Nixson,&,nbsp,Daily Express “No-one with the slightest interest
in this war, or the nation on which it is being waged, should fail
to read Andrey Kurkov,”&,nbsp,Dominic Lawson,&,nbsp,Daily
Mail &,nbsp, “For centuries, attempts have been made to force
Ukrainians to forget their native language, to stop singing
Ukrainian songs and to abandon their history. For almost 400 years,
Russia has been fighting against Ukrainian identity.” &,nbsp,
Ten years on from the annexation of Crimea, two years on from
Russia’s all-out invasion of Ukraine, the Ukrainian people continue
to fight back. In the second volume of his war diaries, Andrey
Kurkov gives a fresh perspective on a people for whom resistance
and solidarity have become a matter of survival.&,nbsp,Our
Daily War is a chronological record of the heterogeneous mix that
comprises Ukrainian life and thought in the teeth of Russian
aggression, from the constant stress of air raids, the deportation
of citizens from the occupied regions and the whispers of
governmental corruption to Christmas celebrations, crowdfunding and
the recipe for a “trench candle”. &,nbsp, Kurkov’s human’s-eye
view on the war in Ukraine is by turns bitingly satirical, tragic,
humorous and heartfelt. It is also, in the manner of Pepys, an
invaluable insight into the history, politics and culture of
Ukraine.Our Daily War is the ideal primer for anyone who would like
to know what life is like in that country today. “Andrey Kurkov
[is] one of the most articulate ambassadors to the West for the
situation in his homeland,”&,nbsp,Sam
Leith,&,nbsp,Spectator “Immediate and important … From the grim
incredulity at Russians massing on the border to the displacement
of millions of people, this is an insider's account of how an
ordinary life became extraordinary. It is also about survival, hope
and humanity,”&,nbsp,Helen Davies,&,nbsp,The Times
“Ukraine’s greatest novelist is fighting for his
country,”&,nbsp,Giles Harvey,&,nbsp,New York Times
&,nbsp, “The author's on-the-ground account is packed with
surprising details about the human effects of the Russian assault
...His voice is genial but also impassioned, never more so than
when deploring Putin's efforts to erase Ukrainian culture and
history. Ukraine, he says, ",will either be free, independent and
European, or it will not exist at all",. That's why the war has to
be fought, with no concession of territory.And he remains quietly
hopeful that it will be won,”&,nbsp,Blake
Morrison,&,nbsp,Guardian
