Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog vochten ongeveer een miljoen vrouwen in het Rode Leger, maar hun verhaal is nooit verteld. In De oorlog heeft geen vrouwengezicht verzamelde Svetlana Alexijevitsj de herinneringen van honderden van hen die scherpschutter waren, tanks bestuurden of in veldhospitaals werkten. Hun verhaal is niet het verhaal van strijd alleen, maar dat van mensen in oorlog: wat gebeurde er met hen, hoe werden ze door de oorlog veranderd? Hoe was het om te leren te doden? Samen vertellen ze het niet-heroïsche verhaal van de oorlog, dat ontbreekt in eerdere getuigenissen van veteranen. Alexijevitsj publiceerde haar boek in 1985, maar heeft het in 2002 compleet herzien, waarbij ze gedeelten heeft kunnen toevoegen die oorspronkelijk ten prooi waren gevallen aan de Sovjet-censuur.

A long-awaited English translation of the groundbreaking oral history of women in World War II across Europe and Russia—from the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post • The Guardian • NPR • The Economist • Milwaukee Journal Sentinel • Kirkus Reviews For more than three decades, Svetlana Alexievich has been the memory and conscience of the twentieth century. When the Swedish Academy awarded her the Nobel Prize, it cited her invention of “a new kind of literary genre,” describing her work as “a history of emotions . . . a history of the soul.” In The Unwomanly Face of War, Alexievich chronicles the experiences of the Soviet women who fought on the front lines, on the home front, and in the occupied territories. These women—more than a million in total—were nurses and doctors, pilots, tank drivers, machine-gunners, and snipers. They battled alongside men, and yet, after the victory, their efforts and sacrifices were forgotten. Alexievich traveled thousands of miles and visited more than a hundred towns to record these women’s stories. Together, this symphony of voices reveals a different aspect of the war—the everyday details of life in combat left out of the official histories. Translated by the renowned Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, The Unwomanly Face of War is a powerful and poignant account of the central conflict of the twentieth century, a kaleidoscopic portrait of the human side of war. THE WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE “for her polyphonic writings, a monument to suffering and courage in our time.” “A landmark.”—Timothy Snyder, author of On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century “An astonishing book, harrowing and life-affirming . . . It deserves the widest possible readership.”—Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl on the Train “Alexievich has gained probably the world’s deepest, most eloquent understanding of the post-Soviet condition. . . . [She] has consistently chronicled that which has been intentionally forgotten.”—Masha Gessen, National Book Award–winning author of The Future Is History

"This book is a confession, a document and a record of people's memory. More than 200 women speak in it, describing how young girls, who dreamed of becoming brides, became soldiers in 1941. More than 500,000 Soviet women participated on a par with men in the Second World War, the most terrible war of the 20th century. Women not only rescued and bandaged the wounded but also fires a sniper's rifle, blew up bridges, went reconnoitering and killed... They killed the enemy who, with unprecedented cruelty, had attacked their land, their homes and their children. Soviet writer of Byelorussia, Svetlana Alexiyevich spent four years working on the book, visiting over 100 cities and towns, settlements and villages and recording the stories and reminiscences of women war veterans. The soviet press called the book 'a vivid reporting of events long past, which affected the destiny of the nation as a whole.' The most important thing about the book is not so much the front-line episodes as women's heart-rending experiences in the war. Through their testimony the past makes an impassioned appeal to the present, denouncing yesterday's and today's fascism..."--

Una historia oral innovadora de mujeres en la Segunda Guerra Mundial en Europa y Rusia, del ganador del Premio Nobel de Literatura NOMBRADO UNO DE LOS MEJORES LIBROS DEL AÑO POR The Washington Post • The Guardian • NPR • The Economist • Milwaukee Journal Sentinel • Revisiones de Kirkus Durante más de tres décadas, Svetlana Alexievich ha sido la memoria y la conciencia del siglo XX. Cuando la Academia Sueca le otorgó el Premio Nobel, citó su invención de "un nuevo tipo de género literario", describiendo su trabajo como "una historia de emociones". . . una historia del alma ". En La guerra no tiene rostro de mujer, Alexievich narra las experiencias de las mujeres soviéticas que lucharon en el frente, en el frente de casa y en los territorios ocupados. Estas mujeres, más de un millón en total, eran enfermeras y doctoras, pilotos, conductoras de tanques, ametralladoras y francotiradores. Lucharon junto a los hombres y, sin embargo, después de la victoria, sus esfuerzos y sacrificios fueron olvidados. Alexievich viajó miles de millas y visitó más de cien ciudades para registrar las historias de estas mujeres. En conjunto, esta sinfonía de voces revela un aspecto diferente de la guerra: los detalles cotidianos de la vida en combate que quedan fuera de las historias oficiales. «[...] por su escritura polifónica, que es un monumento al valor y al sufrimiento en nuestro tiempo.» Jurado de la Academia Sueca al otorgar a la autora el Premio Nobel de Literatura 2015. Reseña: «Gracias a Alexiévich, la historia de un millón de mujeres que participaron en el ejército soviético o como partisanas contra los alemanes es algo menos desconocida.» Felipe Sahagún, El Cultural de El Mundo «De la lectura de los libros de Alexiévich (Stanislaviv, 1948) no es posible salir indemne.» Gabriel Albiac, ABC Cultural ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A groundbreaking oral history of women in World War II across Europe and Russia—from the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post • The Guardian • NPR • The Economist • Milwaukee Journal Sentinel • Kirkus Reviews For more than three decades, Svetlana Alexievich has been the memory and conscience of the twentieth century.

Why, having stood up for and held their own place in a once absolutely male world, have women not stood up for their history? 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. 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.

'An absolute page-turner' Mail on Sunday Dear Mr. M, I'd like to start by telling you that I'm doing better now. I do so because you probably have no idea that I was ever doing worse. Much worse, in fact, but I'll get to that later on. Mr. M is being watched. As a famous writer, he is no stranger to the limelight, although interest in his work has been dwindling of late. His print runs are smaller than they used to be, as are the crowds at his bookshop signings . . . Our narrator clearly takes a keen interest in M.'s work, and indeed in every aspect of his life. But what exactly are his intentions? And to what does Mr. M owe the honour of his undivided attention? Our narrator seems to be no stranger to murder, while his own story appears to bear more than a passing resemblance to the plot of Mr. M's most famous novel: a teacher has an affair with a student, only to be brutally murdered by the girl and her teenage boyfriend. The body is never found. That's the problem with fiction: in real life, bodies have an awkward habit of turning up. Mr. M has used some artistic licence, and our narrator is not pleased, not pleased at all. And just before he fades into obscurity, he's prepared to give Mr. M one last review. And it's unlikely to be a rave. Dear Mr. M is an unsettling and irresistibly readable literary thriller, set in the world of writing and bookselling, by Herman Koch, the author of the international bestseller, The Dinner.

Operatie Barbarossa van Stewart Binns vertelt de tragische geschiedenis van de Duitse invasie in de Sovjet-Unie tot de val van Berlijn in 1945. Voor de lezers van Antony Beevor en Russell Shorto. Operatie Barbarossa van wetenschapper Stewart Binns, het brein achter de succesvolle documentaireserie The Second World War in Colour, vertelt het bloedige keerpunt in de Tweede Wereldoorlog vanuit Russisch perspectief. Voor de lezers van Antony Beevor en Russell Shorto. In de zomer van 1941 marcheren 4 miljoen Duitse soldaten de Sovjet-Unie binnen. De bloedigste militaire operatie ooit laat een spoor van dood en vernieling achter, en is een keerpunt in de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Het niveau van wreedheid wordt pas geëvenaard als het Sovjetleger Stalingrad terugwint, en vervolgens meedogenloos wraak neemt als het Berlijn binnenvalt. Vanuit een zeldzaam perspectief, dat van de Sovjets en de Oost- Europeanen, wordt in Operatie Barbarossa een tragisch stukje geschiedenis verteld: van de Duitse invasie van de Sovjet-Unie tot de val van Berlijn in april 1945. Stewart Binns zocht in talloze Russische archieven en geeft zo een unieke kijk op de ‘andere kant’ van de oorlog. Hij combineert een tactisch en technisch verslag van de oorlogsmanoeuvres met menselijke en aangrijpende persoonlijke verhalen over moed, vaderlandsliefde en lijden. Dit is het verhaal van de bloedigste oorlog uit de geschiedenis. 'Binns vertelt het verhaal meeslepend en belicht – wat minder vaak gebeurt – de Russische kant van de strijd, inclusief de vaak onderbelichte rol van vrouwen.' - EO Visie ‘Dit is werkelijk een verbazingwekkend boek, boordevol schroeiende, tot nu toe ongepubliceerde, getuigenissen.’ — Andrew Roberts, auteur van Churchill: de biografie 'Operatie Barbarossa is een zeer indrukwekkend en goed leesbaar boek; het verhaal laat je niet meer los.' - De Leesclub van Alles 'Operatie Barbarossa is nuchter en vanuit een grotendeels algemeen perspectief geschreven, met veel oog voor detail.' – NBD Biblion

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A symphonic oral history about the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the emergence of a new Russia, from Svetlana Alexievich, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE WASHINGTON POST AND PUBLISHERS WEEKLY • LOS 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 Reviews 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.” Praise for Svetlana Alexievich and Secondhand Time “The nonfiction volume that has done the most to deepen the emotional understanding of Russia during and after the collapse of the Soviet Union of late is Svetlana Alexievich’s oral history Secondhand Time.”—David Remnick, The New Yorker
