Second-hand Time

von Svetlana Alexievich

680 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In Second-hand Time, her masterpiece, 2015 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate Svetlana Alexievich brings together the voices of dozens of witnesses to the collapse of the USSR in a formidable attempt to chart the disappearance of a culture and to surmise what new kind of man may emerge from the rubble. Fashioning a singular, polyphonic literary form by combining extended individual monologues with a collage of voices, Alexievich creates a magnificent requiem to a civilization in ruins, a brilliant, poignant and unique portrait of post-Soviet society out of the stories of ordinary women and men.
