Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. La historia de Ucrania contada a traves de una apasionante saga familiar, que recuerda el impacto de Unorthodox, Todo esta iluminado o La octava vida Me dejo sin respiracion. Una de las mejores autobiografias del ano. R. Tomaszewska, Virago (Reino Unido) En 2014, Vika regresa a su Ucrania natal para investigar un misterio familiar: como murio su tio tatarabuelo Nikodim en la decada de 1930 y por que su historia sigue siendo tabu casi un siglo despues. Desentranar viejas incognitas resulta complicado, pero nunca habria previsto que la resistencia mas fuerte la encontraria en su abuela Valentina, que le prohibe remover el pasado. No en vano Ucrania es tierra de sangre, como sus vecinas Polonia, Bielorrusia, Rusia y los paises balticos: en el area de Poltava, donde residio la familia, el KGB desaparecio hace ya mucho, pero su antiguo cuartel general todavia aterroriza a los lugarenos. Mientras el pais se sumerge en un nuevo conflicto con Rusia tras la anexion de Crimea, el lector acompana a Vika entre los temidos archivos del KGB en busca de la verdad sobre el pasado del pais y sobre Nikodim, incluso a riesgo de un enfrentamiento directo con su familia. Entre el memoir y la novela detectivesca, esta obra conjuga su enorme carga emocional con un lucido analisis de la historia. Al tiempo que Victoria Belim terminaba esta novela sobre una Ucrania que intentaba hacer las paces con su pasado y florecer, su tierra se enfrentaba de nuevo al dolor de otra cruel guerra.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONA timely and deeply moving memoir of the authors Ukrainian family history, interwoven with the countrys tumultuous storyIn 2014, the landmarks of Victoria Belims personal geography were plunged into tumult at the hands of Russia. Her hometown Kyiv was gripped by protests and violent suppression. Crimea, where shed once been sent to school to avoid radiation from the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl, was invaded. Kharkiv, where her grandmother Valentina studied economics and fell in love; Donetsk, where her father once worked; and Mariupol, where she and her mother bought a cherry tree for Valentinas garden all became battlegrounds.A naturalized American citizen then living in Brussels, Belim felt she had to go back. She had to spend time with her aging grandmother and her cousin Dima. She had to unravel a family mystery spanning several generations. And she needed to understand how her countrys tragic history of communist revolution, civil war, famine, world war, totalitarianism, and fraught independence had changed the course of their lives.The Rooster House is a beautifully written memoir of a family, a countrys past, and its dangerous present. It is about parents and children, true believers and victims, gardens and art, secrets and tragedy. Compulsively readable, deeply moving, and at times laugh-out-loud funny, it is a stunning debut book by an experienced, expressive, and gifted writer.
