Über dieses Produkt

Product Information

Before the United States' invasion, a million Soviet troops fought a devastating war in Afghanistan that claimed 50,000 casualties--and the youth and humanity of many tens of thousands more. The Soviet Union talked about a "peacekeeping" mission, while the dead were shipped back in zinc-lined coffins. In this new translation, Zinky Boys weaves together the candid and affecting testimony of the officers and grunts, doctors and nurses, mothers, sons, and daughters who describe the war and its lasting effects. A "masterpiece of reportage" (Timothy Snyder, New York Review of Books) emerges of harrowing and unforgettable insight into war.

For the past 30 or 40 years [Alexievich has] been busy mapping the Soviet and post-Soviet individual, but [her work is] not really about a history of events. It's a history of emotions--what she's offering us is really an emotional world...a history of the soul., ""[Alexievich's] voice is much more than the sum of [her subject's] voices . . . [making] that war as all-encompassingly present and personal--as real--as any fictional account ever did for any other war.", "[Alexievich's] voice is much more than the sum of [her subject's] voices . . . [making] that war as all-encompassingly present and personal--as real--as any fictional account ever did for any other war.--Philip Gourevitch "The New Yorker", For the past 30 or 40 years [Alexievich has] been busy mapping the Soviet and post-Soviet individual, but [her work is] not really about a history of events. It's a history of emotions--what she's offering us is really an emotional world, . . . a history of the soul., Shattering and addictive...This is a polyphonic tour de force that shines a light on war, the plight of heroes, and why post-Soviet Russia is as it is., What Alexievich is doing is giving voice to the voiceless, exposing not only stories we wouldn't otherwise hear but individuals as well., Alexievich put in thousands of hours with her tape recorder across the lands of the former Soviet Union, collecting and collating stories from ordinary people. She wove those tales into elegant books of...power and insight, Alexievich serves no ideology, only an ideal: to listen closely enough to the ordinary voices of her time to orchestrate them into extraordinary books., Alexievich's 'documentary novels' are crafted and edited with a reporter's cool eye for detail and a poet's ear for the intricate rhythms of human speech. Reading them is like eavesdropping on a confessional. This is history at its rawest and most uncomfortably intimate., For the past 30 or 40 years [Alexievich has] been busy mapping the Soviet and post-Soviet individual, but [her work is] not really about a history of events. It's a history of emotions--what she's offering us is really an emotional world, . . . a history of the soul.--Sara Danius, Permanent Secretary of the Swedish Academy, Superbly translated...Alexievich's choice of truth as hero is the right one for the age of Putin and Trump.
