Krátky popis
Winner of the Duff Cooper and Lionel Gelber prizesIn 1932-33,
nearly four million Ukrainians died of starvation, having been
deliberately deprived of food. It is one of the most devastating
episodes in the history of the twentieth century. With
unprecedented authority and detail, Red Famine investigates how
this happened, who was responsible, and what the consequences
were.It is the fullest account yet published of these terrible
events. The book draws on a mass of archival material and
first-hand testimony only available since the end of the Soviet
Union, as well as the work of Ukrainian scholars all over the
world. It includes accounts of the famine by those who survived it,
describing what human beings can do when driven mad by hunger.It
shows how the Soviet state ruthlessly used propaganda to turn
neighbours against each other in order to expunge supposedly
'anti-revolutionary' elements. It also records the actions of
extraordinary individuals who did all they could to relieve the
suffering. The famine was rapidly followed by an attack on
Ukraine's cultural and political leadership - and then by a denial
that it had ever happened at all.Census reports were falsified and
memory suppressed. Some western journalists shamelessly swallowed
the Soviet line, others bravely rejected it, and were undermined
and harassed. The Soviet authorities were determined not only that
Ukraine should abandon its national aspirations, but that the
country's true history should be buried along with its millions of
victims.Red Famine, a triumph of scholarship and human sympathy, is
a milestone in the recovery of those memories and that history. At
a moment of crisis between Russia and Ukraine, it also shows how
far the present is shaped by the past.
Úprimná spoveď matky – manželky, ktorú zlé rozhodnutia vženú priamo
do náruče odborníkov. Ako žena, matka a manželka si je vedomá
svojich chýb, ťarcha rozhodnutí je však oveľa silnejšia. Stráca
nielen svoju rodinu, ale aj to, čo jej bolo najbližšie. Svoje deti.
Skutočný príbeh, tak trochu drsný, trochu podaný s vtipom o ženách,
mužoch a deťoch, ktorým jediné rozhodnutie zmenilo život. V poradí
štrnásta kniha od obľúbenej Evity Urbaníkovej prináša príbeh, ktorý
je zasadený do prostredia rodiny a medziľudských vzťahov. Citát:
Niekedy máme v živote jednoducho smolu. Niekedy sa dostaneme do
prúseru, ani nevieme ako. Ale niekedy si za všetko, čo sa deje,
môžeme sami.
