Krátky popis
A moving and thought-provoking story of loss and war from the
Director of the Ukrainian institute, told in a powerful blend of
memoir and essay***'Elegantly written... packed with the sharpness
of moments when a death suddenly becomes real' -TLS'If you want to
understand Ukraine's determination to resist, Olesya Khromeychuk's
book is essential.' -Paul Mason, author of How to Stop
Fascism'Moving, intelligent, and brilliantly written.' -Anna Reid,
author of Borderland: A Journey Through the History of UkraineWITH
A FOREWORD BY PHILIPPE SANDS AND AN INTRODUCTION BY ANDREY KURKOV
Killed by shrapnel as he served in the Ukrainian Armed Forces,
Olesya Khromeychuk's brother Volodymyr died on the frontline in
eastern Ukraine. As Olesya tries to come to terms with losing her
brother, she also tries to process the Russian invasion of Ukraine:
as an immigrant living far from the frontline, as a historian of
war and how societies respond to them, and as a woman, a civilian,
and a sister.In this timely blend of memoir and essay, Olesya
Khromeychuk tells the story of her brother - the wiser older
sibling, the artist and the soldier - and of his death. Deeply
moving and thoughtful, The Death of a Soldier Told by His Sister
picks apart the ways political violence shapes everyone and
everything it touches and depicts with extraordinary intimacy the
singular and complicated bond between a brother and sister.
Olesya's vivid writing is a personal and powerful commitment to
honesty in life, in death and in memory.'Soon before he died, my
brother said he had become a warrior. Why would a thinker, an
artist, wish to become a soldier? Perhaps I didn't appreciate what
it meant to be a thinker and an artist, or, maybe, what it meant to
be a soldier.''In vivid, intimate prose and with unflinching
honesty, Olesya Khromeychuk introduces us to the brother she lost
in the war and found in her grief.' -Dr Rory Finnin, University of
Cambridge'I admire a book that invites me to grapple with knotty
questions. Olesya Khromeychuk has written such a book -
beautifully.' - Professor Cynthia Enloe, author of Nimo's War
