Viac o knihe

On April 26, 1986, the Chernobyl nuclear reactor accident contaminated a vast area of Europe. While the Soviet government reported only 31 deaths, the true impact was devastating. Over 485 villages were lost, and around 2.1 million people, including 700,000 children, live on contaminated land. There is no official record of the thousands who have died, and many children have been born with severe birth defects, while countless others endure ongoing health issues due to radiation exposure. This book presents personal accounts from the people of Belarus, capturing their fear, anger, and uncertainty. Svetlana Alexievich, a journalist who developed an immune deficiency while researching, interviewed hundreds affected by the disaster—from citizens to firefighters and cleanup crews. This work serves as a vital document of the tragedy and the government's attempts to downplay its severity, deepening the tragedy through deception. By presenting interviews in monologue form, Alexievich offers readers an unfiltered glimpse into the lives of those impacted, revealing the profound pain of experiencing such a catastrophe and its lingering effects.

Na rozdíl od knihy: "Černobyl -historie jaderné katastrofy" je Modlizba veskrze příběhovou záležitostí a to silně emotivní. Autorka detailně popisuje tragické události v životě Ludmily Ignatěnko, která si kvůli havárii vytrpěla více, než lze unést.

Perfektní kniha.Přečtete jedním dechem.Pokud někoho zajímá cokoliv o havárii elektrárny a stejně tak o městě Pripjať a vše okolo,měl by tuto knihu určitě přečíst.

Jedna z nejdůležitějších knih plná svědectví o Černobylu.
