For more than three decades, Svetlana Alexievich has been the memory and conscience of the twentieth century. When the Swedish Academy awarded her the Nobel Prize, it cited her invention of “a new kind of literary genre,” describing her work as “a history of emotions . . . a history of the soul.”
In The Unwomanly Face of War, Alexievich chronicles the experiences of the Soviet women who fought on the front lines, on the home front, and in the occupied territories. These women—more than a million in total—were nurses and doctors, pilots, tank drivers, machine-gunners, and snipers. They battled alongside men, and yet, after the victory, their efforts and sacrifices were forgotten.
Alexievich traveled thousands of miles and visited more than a hundred towns to record these women’s stories. Together, this symphony of voices reveals a different aspect of the war—the everyday details of life in combat left out of the official histories.
Translated by the renowned Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, The Unwomanly Face of War is a powerful and poignant account of the central conflict of the twentieth century, a kaleidoscopic portrait of the human side of war.
“But why? I asked myself more than once. Why, having stood up for and held their own place in a once absolutely male world, have women not stood up for their history? Their words and feelings? They did not believe themselves. A whole world is hidden from us. Their war remains unknown . . . I want to write the history of that war. A women’s history.”—Svetlana Alexievich
THE WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE
“for her polyphonic writings, a monument to suffering and courage in our time.”

Svetlana Alexievich was born in Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine, in 1948 and has spent most of her life in the Soviet Union and present-day Belarus, with prolonged periods of exile in Western Europe. Starting out as a journalist, she developed her own nonfiction genre, which gathers a chorus of voices to describe a specific historical moment. Her works include The Unwomanly Face of War (1985), Last Witnesses (1985), Zinky Boys (1990), Voices from Chernobyl (1997), and Secondhand Time (2013). She has won many international awards, including the 2015 Nobel Prize in Literature “for her polyphonic writings, a monument to suffering and courage in our time.”
读alexievich的作品总是能读到一些直击心灵的语句，比如“We were so
young when we went to the front.Young girls.I even grew during the war.Mama measured me at home...I grew four inches.....”令人心碎的故事。
"For me one human being is so much."
I LOVE Alexievich's impeccable curation, thanks to which the powerful voices of women soldiers', and thus human spirits, got to be preserved in this powerful book..."For me one human being is so much."
I LOVE Alexievich's impeccable curation, thanks to which the powerful voices of women soldiers', and thus human spirits, got to be preserved in this powerful book. War is brutal. But human feelings are bigger.
Oh and the star couple translators in Volokhonsky and Pevear makes this English version even better.(展开)

苏联女兵对于二战的回忆。作者只提供了提纲挈领的分析，主要是口述的整理。被访者不同的声音因为作者的缄默而形成复调的效果。争议在于作者对于收集来的口述内容进行了大量和反复的编辑，但这些加工都被隐藏在公布的文本之后。

找不到意义，总去读读战争下的故事。意义被解散后的感觉。我们永远都找不到。
