Description
Voices from Chernobyl is a powerful and personal account of the worst nuclear reactor accident in history, as told by the 2015 Nobel Prize in Literature winner Svetlana Alexievich.
On April 26, 1986, the Chernobyl nuclear reactor accident had a devastating impact on Europe, contaminating nearly three quarters of the continent. This book presents the first collection of personal accounts from those affected by the meltdown, including innocent citizens, firefighters, and those who were called in to clean up the disaster.
Through hundreds of interviews in monologue form, Alexievich brings to life the fear, anger, and uncertainty that still linger with those who lived through the tragedy. A crucial and unforgettable work, Voices from Chernobyl is a testament to the human experience in the face of unimaginable disaster.
