Author: Svetlana Alexievich

Title: Chernobyl Prayer

Summary: A new translation of "Voices from Chernobyl" based on the revised edition. In 1986, a series of explosions disrupted the Chernobyl nuclear reactor. The flames lit up the sky, and radiation contaminated the land and poisoned the population for years. While officials tried to cover up the accident, Svetlana Alexievich dedicated years to collecting testimonies from survivors - cleanup workers, residents, firefighters, re-settled people, widows, orphans - shaping their voices into a haunting oral history filled with fear, anger, and uncertainty, but also dark humor and love. A chronicle of the past and a warning for our nuclear future, Chernobyl Prayer shows what it means to bear witness and remember in a world that wants you to forget.
