The Blockade Book
6.99 €
"The book seems to be devoted to memories of hunger and cold, of terrible deaths, but it is not a book of death, but a book of life," - so said the authors themselves, Daniel Granin and Ales Adamovich, about their "Blockade Book" - a powerful and tragic work on which the writers worked for many years, collecting and recording more than 200 stories of survivors of Leningrad. 900 days of the blockade of Leningrad, which took hundreds of thousands of innocent lives - the lives of women, the elderly, children. The feat of some residents, who worked and fought in truly inhuman conditions - and the heinous looting of others, who bought their last valuables for bread and groats from the hungry. The horrible winter of 1942, when whole families died of hunger, - and New Year's trees, to which Leningrad children miraculously managed to deliver mandarins along the Road of Life... There are things that mankind should not forget, if it wants to remain humanity. And the feat of Leningrad blockadniks will never be forgotten either!
