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.

Sto rokov samoty
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.
