Svetlana Alexievich was born in Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine, in 1948 and has spent most of her life in the Soviet Union and present-day Belarus, with prolonged periods of exile in Western Europe. Starting out as a journalist, she developed her own nonfiction genre, which gathers a chorus of voices to describe a specific historical moment. Her works include The Unwomanly Face of War (1985), Last Witnesses (1985), Zinky Boys (1990), Voices from Chernobyl (1997), and Secondhand Time (2013). She has won many international awards, including the 2015 Nobel Prize in Literature “for her polyphonic writings, a monument to suffering and courage in our time.”

对军人总是有种莫名的亲切感,大概是因为从小在军人堆里长大的缘故吧。 小时候,特别喜欢站在路边,看整齐的军人队列在林荫道上齐步走过,也喜欢和同龄的孩子们玩着关于战争的游戏,每个孩子都争着想当一名英勇的解放军去英勇杀敌。游戏中,孩子们双手模仿着枪的形状,对着另一...
评分 评分站在我们的立场看,这是一场个人对集体的控诉。天平似乎从来都过分倾斜,而人们又被封口缄默,让所有声音在肝肠里聚集、翻滚、轰炸,冲破皮囊灌入口鼻,再变作一口气化为虚无,生产出一剂刺痛神经的止痛药。 我们都知道,在这个时代,你用青春和生命交换的,不过是一张空头支票...
评分战争内容的虚构类的小说,非虚构类的历史著作,看过的,没看过的,多少都会带着开边拓土的激情。封狼居胥也好,中途岛海战也罢,哪怕是崖山之役,也多少会带着哪怕一点点激情的,但本书所作为“背景”所讲述的阿富汗战争却看不到哪怕一丝激情。在这里the war equals to the dis...

From 1979 to 1989 a million Soviet troops engaged in a devastating war in Afghanistan that claimed 50,000 casualties―and the youth and humanity of many tens of thousands more. Creating controversy and outrage when it was first published in the USSR―it was called by reviewers there a “slanderous piece of fantasy” and part of a “hysterical chorus of malign attacks”―Zinky Boys presents the candid and affecting testimony of the officers and grunts, nurses and prostitutes, mothers, sons, and daughters who describe the war and its lasting effects. What emerges is a story that is shocking in its brutality and revelatory in its similarities to the American experience in Vietnam. The Soviet dead were shipped back in sealed zinc coffins (hence the term “Zinky Boys”), while the state denied the very existence of the conflict. Svetlana Alexievich brings us the truth of the Soviet-Afghan War: the beauty of the country and the savage Army bullying, the killing and the mutilation, the profusion of Western goods, the shame and shattered lives of returned veterans. Zinky Boys offers a unique, harrowing, and unforgettably powerful insight into the realities of war.
