Orlando Figes Crimea
Venditore: Lafeltrinelli.it Prezzo: 23.74 € (+2.70 €)Orlando Figes' Crimea is a powerful history of the Crimean War, the conflict that dominated the nineteenth century.\n\n The Crimean War one of the fiercest battles in Russia's history, killing nearly a million men and completely redrawing the map of Europe. Pitting the Tsar's empire against an alliance of Britain, France and the Ottoman Empire, it was the first conflict to use photography, the telegraph and newspapers; a war over territory, from the Balkans to the Persian Gulf; a war of religion, driven by a fervent, populistbelief by the Tsar and his ministers that it was Russia's task to rule all Orthodox Christians and control the Holy Land; it was the original 'total war'. \n\n Orlando Figes' vivid new book reinterprets this extraordinary conflict. Bringing to life ordinary soldiers in snow-filled trenches, surgeons on the battlefield and the haunted, fanatical figure of Tsar Nicholas himself, Crimea tells the human story of a tragic war. \n\n 'Lucid, well-written, alive and sensitive, it tells us why this neglected conflict and its forgotten victims deserve our remembrance' \n Oliver Bullough, Independent\n\n 'Figes paints a vivid portrait of a bloody and pointless conflict ... he knows more about Russia than any other historian'\n Max Hastings, Sunday Times\n\n 'A fine, stirring account' \n Mark Bostridge, Financial Times\n\n 'A wonderful subject, on every level, and with Orlando Figes it has found the historian worthy of its width and depth' \n Norman Stone, Standpoint\n\n 'Figes is a first-class historian, as his splendid new book amply demonstrates' \n Dominic Sandbrook, Daily Telegraph\n\n Orlando Figes is Professor of History at Birkbeck College, University of London. He is the author of Peasant Russia, Civil War, A People's Tragedy, Natasha's Dance, The Whisperers and Just Send Me Word. His books have been translated into over twenty languages.

Orlando Figes Just Send Me Word: A True Story of Love and Survival in the Gulag
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 15.43 € (+2.70 €)From Orlando Figes, international bestselling author of A People's Tragedy, Just Send Me Word is the moving true story of two young Russians whose love survived Stalin's Gulag. \n\nLev and Svetlana, kept apart for fourteen years by the Second World War and the Gulag, stayed true to each other and exchanged thousands of secret letters as Lev battled to survive in Stalin's camps. Using this remarkable cache of smuggled correspondence, Orlando Figes tells the tale of two incredible people who, swept along in the very worst of times, kept their devotion alive.\n\nOrlando Figes was granted exclusive access to the thousands of letters between Lev and Sveta that form the foundation of Just Send Me Word, and he was able to interview the couple in person, then in their nineties. These real-time and largely uncensored letters form the largest cache of Gulag letters ever found.\n\nReviews:\n\n'One is overcome with admiration for the kindness, bravery and generosity of people in terrible peril ... It is impossible to read without shedding tears' Simon Sebag Montefiore, Financial Times\n\n'This powerful narrative by a distinguished historian will take its place not just in history but in literature' Robert Massie\n\n'Electrifying, passionate, devoted, despairing, exhilarating ... a tale of hope, resilience, grit and love' The Times\n\n\n\n'Moving ... a remarkable discovery' Max Hastings, Sunday Times \n\n'The gulag story lacks individuals for us to sympathise with: a Primo Levi, an Anne Frank or even an Oskar Schindler. Just Send Me Word may well be the book to change that' Oliver Bullough, Independent\n\n'Immensely touching ... [a] heartening gem of a book' Anna Reid, Literary Review\n\n'The remarkable true story of a love affair between two Soviet citizens ... as much a literary challenge as a historical one: the book can be read as a non-fiction novel' Telegraph\n\n'Remarkable ... Figes, selecting and then interpreting this mass of letters, makes them tell two kinds of story. The first is a uniquely detailed narrative of the gulag, of the callous, slatternly universe which consumed millions of lives ... The second is about two people determined not to lose each other' Neal Ascherson, Guardian\n\n'A quiet, moving and memorable account of life in a totalitarian state ... The book often reads like a novel ... captivating' Evening Standard\n\n'Orlando Figes has wrought something beautiful from dark times' Ian Thomson, Observer\n\n'A heart-rending record of extraordinary human endurance' Kirkus Reviews\n\n'[A] remarkable tale of love and devotion during the worst years of the USSR ...

Orlando Figes The Whisperers: Private Life in Stalin's Russia
Venditore: Lafeltrinelli.it Prezzo: 23.74 € (+2.70 €)Orlando Figes' The Whisperers is a groundbreaking account of daily life in the chaotic and paranoid atmosphere of Stalinist Russia. \n\n Exploring the inner life of a Russia where everyone was afraid to talk and society spoke in whispers, whether to protect friends and family - or to betray them - Orlando Figes tells the story of how Russians tried to endure life under Stalin's Terror. Where a junior worker might inform on their superior to get their job; a husband to get rid of a lover; a neighbour out of petty jealousy. Where living a double life became the norm and yet, somehow, a few defied the state. \n\nThose who shaped the political system became, very frequently, its victims. Those who were its victims were frequently quite blameless. Drawing on hundreds of family archives from across the whole spectrum of Russian society, The Whisperers recreates the sort of maze in which Russians found themselves, where an unwitting wrong turn could either destroy a family or, perversely, later save it: a society in which everyone spoke in whispers - whether to protect themselves, their families, neighbours or friends - or to inform on them. \n\n 'Wonderful ... an amazing panoramic view ... I've rarely read anything like it'\n Claire Tomalin \n\n 'Awesome ... one of the most unforgettable books I have ever read. I defy anyone to read it without weeping at its human suffering, cruelty and courage' \n Simon Sebag Montefiore, Mail on Sunday \n\n 'This is a heart-rending book ... its importance cannot be overestimated ... This book should be made compulsory reading in Russia today'\n Antony Beevor, author Of Stalingrad\n\n 'A masterful account of lost and stolen lives'\n Sunday Times\n\n Orlando Figes is Professor of History at Birkbeck College, University of London. He is the author of Peasant Russia, Civil War, A Peoples Tragedy, Natasha's Dance and The Whisperers. He lives in Cambridge and London. His books have been translated into over twenty languages.

Orlando Figes La tragedia di un popolo. La rivoluzione russa 1891-1924
Venditore: Ibs.it Prezzo: 18.40 € (+2.70 €)La rivoluzione russa è stata, per i suoi effetti, una delle vicende più sconvolgenti della storia mondiale: in una sola generazione dall'instaurazione del potere sovietico almeno un terzo dell'umanità viveva in regimi che l'avevano presa a modello. Il costo in vite umane degli eventi rivoluzionari del 1917 e degli anni immediatamente successivi fu immenso: milioni di morti per le bombe e le pallottole dei rivoluzionari e per la repressione diretta del regime, per il terrore rosso e i pogrom antiebraici, ancora di più per la fame, il freddo, le malattie. In questo libro, considerate l'opera più completa e attendibile sul periodo, per la prima volta si è racchiusa in un unico volume l'intera parabola rivoluzionaria: dal 1891, quando per la prima volta la carestia e la fame spinsero la popolazione a ribellarsi all'autocrazia zarista, fino al 1924, quando alla morte di Lenin si erano ormai instaurate e consolidate le istituzioni del regime sovietico. Orlando Figes descrive la rivoluzione come una tragedia, tanto per il popolo russo nel suo insieme quanto per i singoli individui, dimostrando che il fallimento della democrazia nel 1917 aveva le sue radici nella cultura e nella storia sociale della Russia e che quella che era nata come rivoluzione del popolo conteneva già i semi della futura degenerazione in violenza e dittatura.
