Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Uno de los mejores libros del Siglo XXI segun el New York TimesDe la Premio Nobel de Literatura 2015, una obra maestra inedita hasta ahora que recoge el recuerdo de los ninos que sobrevivieron a la segunda guerra mundial. Un tema de gran interes desde una perspectiva totalmente distinta. La Segunda Guerra Mundial dejo casi trece millones de ninos muertos y, en 1945, solo en Bielorrusia, vivian en los orfanatos unos veintisiete mil huerfanos, resultado de la devastacion producida por la guerra en la poblacion de ese pais. A finales de los anos ochenta la Premio Nobel Svetlana Alexievich entrevisto a aquellos huerfanos y compuso con sus testimonios un emocionante relato de una de las mayores tragedias de la historia. Esta obra maestra inedita constituye un retrato personal y profundamente conmovedor del conflicto en el que la propia autora no interviene mas alla del prologo: son sus protagonistas los que hablan conformando con sus palabras una especie de memoria coral de la guerra, original, autentica y fascinante. [.] por su escritura polifonica, que es un monumento al valor y al sufrimiento en nuestro tiempo., palabras del Jurado de la Academia Sueca al otorgar a la autora el Premio Nobel de Literatura 2015. Me dedico a la historia omitida, las huellas imperceptibles de nuestro paso por la tierra y por el tiempo. Recojo la cotidianidad de los sentimientos, los pensamientos y las palabras. Intento captar la vida cotidiana del alma.Svetlana AlexievichENGLISH DESCRIPTIONOne of the New York Timess 100 Best Books of the 21st CenturyNAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST AND PUBLISHERS WEEKLYLOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE WINNER NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times The Washington Post The Boston Globe The Wall Street Journal NPR Financial Times Kirkus ReviewsWhen the Swedish Academy awarded Svetlana Alexievich the Nobel Prize, it cited her for inventing "a new kind of literary genre," describing her work as "a history of emotionsa history of the soul." Alexievichs distinctive documentary style, combining extended individual monologues with a collage of voices, records the stories of ordinary women and men who are rarely given the opportunity to speak, whose experiences are often lost in the official histories of the nation.In Secondhand Time, Alexievich chronicles the demise of communism. Everyday Russian citizens recount the past thirty years, showing us what life was like during the fall of the Soviet Union and what its like to live in the new Russia left in its wake. Through interviews spanning 1991 to 2012, Alexievich takes us behind the propaganda and contrived media accounts, giving us a panoramic portrait of contemporary Russia and Russians who still carry memories of oppression, terror, famine, massacresbut also of pride in their country, hope for the future, and a belief that everyone was working and fighting together to bring about a utopia. Here is an account of life in the aftermath of an idea so powerful it once dominated a third of the world.A magnificent tapestry of the sorrows and triumphs of the human spirit woven by a master, Secondhand Time tells the stories that together make up the true history of a nation. "Through the voices of those who confided in her," The Nation writes, "Alexievich tells us about human nature, about our dreams, our choices, about good and evilin a word, about ourselves."
