| Zusammenfassung: | "Bringing together dozens of voices in her distinctive style, Last Witnesses is Svetlana Alexievich's collection of the memories of those who were children during World War II. These men and women were both witnesses and sometimes soldiers as well, and their generation grew up with the trauma of the war deeply embedded in them--a trauma that would forever change the course of the Russian nation. This is a new version of the war we're so familiar with. Alexievich gives voice to those whose stories are lost in the official narratives, creating a powerful alternative history from the personal and private experiences of individuals. Collectively, these voices provide a kaleidoscopic portrait of the human consequences of the war"-- |

These men and women were both witnesses and sometimes soldiers as well, and their generation grew up with the trauma of the war deeply embedded in them--a trauma that would forever change the course of the Russian nation. This is a new version of the war we're so familiar with. Alexievich gives voice to those whose stories are lost in the official narratives, creating a powerful alternative history from the personal and private experiences of individuals. Collectively, these voices provide a kaleidoscopic portrait of the human consequences of the war"--</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="648" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Geschichte

"Bringing together dozens of voices in her distinctive style, Last Witnesses is Svetlana Alexievich's collection of the memories of those who were children during World War II. These men and women were both witnesses and sometimes soldiers as well, and their generation grew up with the trauma of the war deeply embedded in them--a trauma that would forever change the course of the Russian nation. This is a new version of the war we're so familiar with. Alexievich gives voice to those whose stories are lost in the official narratives, creating a powerful alternative history from the personal and private experiences of individuals. Collectively, these voices provide a kaleidoscopic portrait of the human consequences of the war"-- Geschichte 1941-1944 gnd rswk-swf Kriegsopfer (DE-588)4165700-7 gnd rswk-swf Autobiografie (DE-588)4003939-0 gnd rswk-swf Besetzung (DE-588)4006020-2 gnd rswk-swf Russlandfeldzug 1941-1945 (DE-588)4076906-9 gnd rswk-swf Nachkriegszeit (DE-588)4421423-6 gnd rswk-swf Kind (DE-588)4030550-8 gnd rswk-swf Schulkind (DE-588)4077197-0 gnd rswk-swf Zweiter Weltkrieg (DE-588)4079167-1 gnd rswk-swf Kindheitserinnerung (DE-588)4163872-4 gnd rswk-swf Belarus (DE-588)4079143-9 gnd rswk-swf Russland (DE-588)4076899-5 gnd rswk-swf Sowjetunion (DE-588)4077548-3 gnd rswk-swf World War (1939-1945) World War, 1939-1945 / Children / Soviet Union World War, 1939-1945 / Personal narratives, Soviet Children Soviet Union HISTORY / World 1939-1945 Personal narratives Personal narratives / Soviet (DE-588)4133254-4 Erlebnisbericht gnd-content Belarus (DE-588)4079143-9 g Besetzung (DE-588)4006020-2 s Kind (DE-588)4030550-8 s Geschichte 1941-1944 z 1\p DE-604 Zweiter Weltkrieg (DE-588)4079167-1 s Russlandfeldzug 1941-1945 (DE-588)4076906-9 s Kindheitserinnerung (DE-588)4163872-4 s 2\p DE-604 Sowjetunion (DE-588)4077548-3 g Autobiografie (DE-588)4003939-0 s 3\p DE-604 Russland (DE-588)4076899-5 g Schulkind (DE-588)4077197-0 s 4\p DE-604 Nachkriegszeit (DE-588)4421423-6 s 5\p DE-604 Kriegsopfer (DE-588)4165700-7 s 6\p DE-604 7\p DE-604 Pevear, Richard 1943- (DE-588)133721906 trl Volokhonsky, Larissa trl Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 978-0-399-58877-8 Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=031447030&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 5\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 6\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 7\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
