De la Premio Nobel de Literatura 2015, una obra maestra in dita hasta ahora que recoge el recuerdo de los ni os que sobrevivieron a la segunda guerra mundial.

Un tema de gran inter s desde una perspectiva totalmente distinta. La Segunda Guerra Mundial dej casi trece millones de ni os muertos y, en 1945, solo en Bielorrusia, viv an en los orfanatos unos veintisiete mil hu rfanos, resultado de la devastaci n producida por la guerra en la poblaci n de ese pa s. A finales de los a os ochenta la Premio Nobel Svetlana Alexi vich entrevist a aquellos hu rfanos y compuso con sus testimonios un emocionante relato de una de las mayores tragedias de la historia.

Esta obra maestra in dita constituye un retrato personal y profundamente conmovedor del conflicto en el que la propia autora no interviene m s all del pr logo: son sus protagonistas los que hablan conformando con sus palabras una especie de memoria coral de la guerra, original, aut ntica y fascinante.

« ...] por su escritura polif nica, 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.

When 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 emotions--a history of the soul. Alexievich's 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 it's 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, massacres--but 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 evil--in a word, about ourselves.
