Paperback. Condition: New. 'A magical literary feat and one of the most touching books I've read this year' Stuart Jeffries, Spectator 'Full of politics and reportage. Full of ideas. Full of history, as it moves from the last days of the Ottoman empire to the last days of the Soviet one. But more than anything, it is full of lif…e - Ypi's own, and that of her forebears' Peter Hoskin, Prospect When Lea Ypi discovers a photo of her grandmother, Leman, honeymooning in the Alps in 1941 posted by a stranger on social media, she is faced with unsettling questions. Growing up, she was told records of her grandmother's youth were destroyed in the early days of communism in Albania. But there Leman was with her husband, Asllan Ypi: glamorous newlyweds while World War II raged.What follows is a thrilling reimagining of the past, as we are transported to the vanished world of Ottoman aristocracy, the making of modern Greece and Albania, a global financial crisis, the horrors of war and the dawn of communism in the Balkans. While investigating the truth about her family, Ypi grapples with uncertainty. Who is the real Leman Ypi? What made her move to Tirana as a young woman and marry a socialist who sympathized with the Popular Front while his father led a collaborationist government? And why was she smiling in the winter of 1941?By turns epic and intimate, profound and gripping, Indignity explores what it means to survive in an age of extremes. It reveals the fragility of truth, both personal and political, and the cost of decisions made against the tide of history. Through secret police reports of communist spies, court depositions, and Ypi's memories of her grandmother, we move between present and past, archive and imagination, fact and fiction. Ultimately, she asks, what do we really know about the people closest to us? And with what moral authority do we judge the acts of previous generations? Longlisted for the 2026 Women's Prize for Non-FictionNamed a Book of the Year by Financial Times, Sunday Times, Prospect, TLS, Washington Post, NPR.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Family and nation formed a reliable bedrock of security for precocious 11-year-old Lea Ypi. She was a Young Pioneer, helping to lead her country toward the future of perfect freedom promised by the leaders of her country, the Peoples Socialist Republic of Albania. Then, almost overnight, the… Berlin Wall fell and the pillars of her society toppled. The local statue of Stalin, whom she had believed to be a kindly leader who loved children, was beheaded by student protestors.Uncomfortable truths about her familys background emerged. Lea learned that when her parents and neighbors had spoken in whispers of friends going to university or relatives dropping out, they meant something much more sinister. As she learned the truth about her familys past, her best friend fled the country. Together with neighboring post-Communist states, Albania began a messy transition to join the free markets of the Western world: a dystopia of pyramid schemes, organized crime, and sex trafficking. Her father, despite his radical left-wing convictions, was forced to fire workers; her mother became a conservative politician on the model of Margaret Thatcher. Leas typical teen concerns about relationships and the future were shot through with the existential: the nation was engulfed in civil war.Ypis outstanding literary gifts enable her to weave together this colorful, tumultuous coming-of-age story in a time of social upheaval with thoughtful, fresh, and invigorating perspective on the relation between the personal and the political, and on deep questions about freedom: What does freedom consist of, and for whom? What conditions foster it? Who among us is truly free? Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An unforgettable coming of age story exploring the meaning of freedom - personal, collective, political - from an extraordinary new voice*SHORTLISTED FOR THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION**SHORTLISTED FOR THE COSTA BIOGRAPHY AWARD*Lea Ypi grew up in one of the most isolated countries… on earth, a place where communist ideals had officially replaced religion. Albania, the last Stalinist outpost in Europe, was almost impossible to visit, almost impossible to leave. It was a place of queuing and scarcity, of political executions and secret police. To Lea, it was home. People were equal, neighbours helped each other, and children were expected to build a better world. There was community and hope.Then, in December 1990 everything changed. The statues of Stalin and Hoxha were toppled. Almost overnight, people could vote freely, wear what they liked and worship as they wished. There was no longer anything to fear from prying ears. But factories shut, jobs disappeared and thousands fled to Italy on crowded ships, only to be sent back. Predatory pyramid schemes eventually bankrupted the country, leading to violent conflict. As one generation's aspirations became another's disillusionment, and as her own family's secrets were revealed, Lea found herself questioning what freedom really meant.Free is an engrossing memoir of coming of age amid political upheaval. With acute insight and wit, Lea Ypi traces the limits of progress and the burden of the past, illuminating the spaces between ideals and reality, and the hopes and fears of people pulled up by the sweep of history. Coming of Age at the End of History. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
