Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Radio 4 Book of the WeekIn the Ukrainian city of Poltava stands a building known as the Rooster House, an elegant mansion with two voluptuous red roosters flanking the door. It doesn't look horrifying. And yet, when Victoria was a girl growing up in the 1980s, her great-grandmother would take pains to avoid walking past it.In 2014, while the Russian state was annexing Crimea, Victoria visited her grandmother in Bereh, the hamlet near Poltava that was a haven in her childhood. Just before the trip she came across her great-grandfather's diary, one page scored deep with the single line: 'Brother Nikodim, vanished in the 1930s fighting for a free Ukraine.' She had never heard of this uncle and no one - especially her grandmother - seemed willing to tell her about him.Victoria became obsessed with recovering his story, and returned to her birth country again and again in pursuit of it. In the end, after years of sifting through Ukraine's post-Soviet bureaucracy, after travelling to tiny, ruined villages and speaking to the wizened survivors of that era, her winding search took her back to the place she had always known it would - to the Rooster House, and the dark truths contained in its basement.Inspired by the author's love for her family, and peopled by warm, larger-than-life characters who jostle alongside the ghostly absences of others, The Rooster House is at once a riveting journey into the complex history of a wounded country and a profoundly moving tribute to hope and the refusal of despair. A riveting and deeply moving memoir that explores a Ukrainian woman's search for the truth behind an unmentioned family secret - and the Ukrainian people's complex relationship with their Soviet history Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Una exploració tan extraordinària com necessària de la història recent ucraïnesa. L'any 2014, enmig de la guerra, Victoria Belim torna al que va ser el seu país d'infantesa per investigar més profundament les seves arrels i la desaparició del seu oncle Nikodim durant els anys trenta. Què li va passar, per què se sap tan poc d'ell, i per què la seva àvia, Valentina, l'adverteix que mai no és bona idea pertorbar el silenci del passat? A Poltava, el KGB fa molt que ha desaparegut, però el record de les seves atrocitats és molt present, i l'antiga seu soviètica, altrament coneguda com la Casa del Gall, s'alça omnipresent recordant un passat que mai no ha acabat d'abandonar aquells indrets, coneguts com «les terres de sang». *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Paperback. Condition: New. New; Entrelaçando fatos do passado para compreender o presente e a si mesma, Victoria Belim faz de Minha Ucrânia um testemunho do poder do amor e da esperança em tempos difíceis.Nascida da união de uma ucraniana com um russo, Victoria Belim cresceu acostumada com a diversidade e se adaptou facilmente quando emigrou para os Estados Unidos, aos 15 anos. Já adulta e morando em Bruxelas, em 2014 Belim acompanhou pelos noticiários a escalada dos conflitos entre Ucrânia e Rússia e percebeu a urgência de saber mais sobre seu país de origem e, por consequência, sobre si mesma.Uma vez chegando na casa da família, em Bereh, onde a avó, Valentina, ainda morava, as memórias de infância correndo pelo pomar e ouvindo as histórias dos bisavôs ressurgiram com força. Combinada com a vontade de reencontrar suas raízes estava a curiosidade de descobrir o que teria acontecido a um tio-avô desaparecido na década de 1930. Por que ninguém falava sobre Nikodim? Como uma pessoa poderia simplesmente desaparecer?Enquanto reunia pequenas pistas ao longo das diversas viagens que fez à Ucrânia, Belim precisou enfrentar a realidade de uma burocracia pós-soviética que ainda permeava departamentos governamentais e a insistência familiar em não falar sobre o passado.Ao ter acesso, enfim, aos arquivos do tio-avô, Belim não apenas compreendeu a força das histórias, como também que mentiras e verdades são questões de perspectiva e que acontecimentos passados podem afetar profundamente o presente de inúmeras pessoas.Minha Ucrânia apresenta a vida de quatro gerações de uma família multicultural e retrata a complexidade histórica de um país e um povo marcados por conflitos e desigualdades, mas também por esperança e cultura."[] Um livro cativante que acompanha, com riqueza de detalhes quatro gerações de uma família [] e contextualiza a atual Guerra da Ucrânia, sem deixar de refletir sobre cultura, arte, geografia e as fronteiras idiomáticas, e como tudo isso é capaz de afetar nossa complexidade particular." The Bookseller"Parte livro de memórias, parte suspense [] este retrato de uma família ucraniana fragmentada mostra o quanto as feridas podem ser profundas e que curá-las significa ser capaz de superar décadas de silêncio, segredos e negação." The Guardian; 294 pages.
