Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. La voz de Alexievich es mucho mas que la suma de las voces que recoge, consiguiendo que la guerra sea tan omnipresente y tan personal, tan real, como cualquier relato de fi ccion lo logro de cualquier otra guerra. -Philip Gourevitch, The New YorkerEntre 1979 y 1989 un millon de tropas soviet…icas combatieron en una guerra devastadora en Afganistan que el regimen comunista intento ocultar: los muertos volvian a casa en ataudes de zinc sellados, mientras que el Estado no reconocia el conflicto. Los muchachos de zinc genero una inmensa polemica cuando fue publicada originalmente en la Union Sovietica. Alexievich presenta el testimonio candido y emocionante de los ofi ciales y los soldados rasos, de las enfermeras y las prostitutas, las madres, los hijos y las hijas que describen la guerra y sus duraderos efectos. El resultado es un relato turbador que expone la verdad de la lucha armada.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONWinner of the Nobel Prize: For her polyphonic writings, a monument to suffering and courage in our time. -Swedish Academy, Nobel Prize citationAfghanistan that claimed 50,000 casualties and the youth and humanity of many tens of thousands more. Creating controversy and outrage when it was first published in the USSR, it was called by reviewers there a slanderous piece of fantasy and part of a hysterical chorus of malign attacks. Zinky Boys presents the candid and affecting testimony of the officers and grunts, nurses and prostitutes, mothers, sons, and daughters who describe the war and its lasting effects.What emerges is a story that is shocking in its brutality and revelatory in its similarities to the American experience in Vietnam. The Soviet dead were shipped back in sealed zinc coffins (hence the term Zinky Boys), while the state denied the very existence of the conflict. Svetlana Alexievich brings us the truth of the Soviet-Afghan War: the beauty of the country and the savage Army bullying, the killing and the mutilation, the profusion of Western goods, the shame and shattered lives of returned veterans. Zinky Boys offers a unique, harrowing, and unforgettably powerful insight into the realities of war. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
