The first book of reportage from the front line of the Ukraine war.
This is a powerful, moving first draft of history written by the
award-winning Guardian journalist and #1 New York Times bestselling
author of Collusion and Shadow State. 'An excellent, moving account
of an ongoing tragedy.' ANNE APPLEBAUM'Compelling, important and
heartbreaking.' SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE'Essential reading.' ELIOT
HIGGINS, founder of Bellingcat'Brilliant.' ANDREY KURKOVFor months,
the omens had pointed in one scarcely believable direction: Russia
was about to invade Ukraine.And yet, the world was stunned by the
epochal scale of the assault that began in February 2022. It was an
attempt by one nation to devour another. Invasion is Luke Harding's
compelling chronicle of the war that changed everything.For this
breathtaking work of reportage he spent months reporting on the
ground during the build up to the conflict and afterward, his book
tells of the initial days of shock and panic, the grim reality of
this ongoing war, and the unheard human stories behind the
headlines. Invasion also offers insightful portraits of the the
war's two great personalities. One, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, is an
actor-turned-president who rallied support on a global stage.The
other, Vladimir Putin, is a dictator who dwells in a strange and
unreachable realm. Harding examines the ideological, religious and
personal reasons behind Putin's decision to invade. And he
confronts a crucial question: which side will prevail in this
terrible war?With the ripple effects of the largest armed conflict
in Europe since 1945 already being felt beyond Ukraine and Russia's
borders, it is more vital than ever to understand how the situation
on the front line will have profound effects for us all.Written in
Luke Harding's starkly transfixing style, Invasion makes for
essential reading. 'Luke Harding is one of the best reporters in
the world.'ROBERTO SAVIANO, author of Gomorrah***Author royalties

V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
