The fourth book in the famous documentary-fiction cycle "Voices of Utopia" by Svetlana Alexievich, winner of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Literature "for her polyphonic writings, a monument to suffering and courage in our time," is dedicated to the greatest man-made disaster of the 20th century.
"Two catastrophes coincided: the cosmic—Chernobyl, and the social—the immense socialist continent sank underwater. And this second collapse overshadowed the cosmic one because it is closer and more understandable to us. What happened in Chernobyl was a first on earth, and we are the first people to have lived through it."
"Voices from Chernobyl" is published in a new author's edition—the book has expanded by a third due to restored fragments that were excluded from previous editions for censorship reasons.
