Krátky popis
'A must read' - Margaret Atwood'It would be hard to find a book
that feels more important or original' - Viv Groskop,
ObserverExtraordinary stories from Soviet women who fought in the
Second World War - from the winner of the Nobel Prize in
Literature",Why, having stood up for and held their own place in a
once absolutely male world, have women not stood up for their
history? Their words and feelings? A whole world is hidden from us.
Their war remains unknown... I want to write the history of that
war.A women's history.",In the late 1970s, Svetlana Alexievich set
out to write her first book, The Unwomanly Face of War, when she
realized that she grew up surrounded by women who had fought in the
Second World War but whose stories were absent from official
narratives. Travelling thousands of miles, she spent years
interviewing hundreds of Soviet women - captains, tank drivers,
snipers, pilots, nurses and doctors - who had experienced the war
on the front lines, on the home front and in occupied territories.
As it brings to light their most harrowing memories, this symphony
of voices reveals a different side of war, a new range of feelings,
smells and colours.After completing the manuscript in 1983,
Alexievich was not allowed to publish it because it went against
the state-sanctioned history of the war. With the dawn of
Perestroika, a heavily censored edition came out in 1985 and it
became a huge bestseller in the Soviet Union - the first in five
books that have established her as the conscience of the twentieth
century.
