Description
“A book about people at war. First and foremost about people—and only then about war.”
War touches everything living. The consequences of World War II are a terrible scar on the body of the whole world—an eternal reminder of a catastrophic past and a phantom pain that echoes in the heart. But at the crossroads of plain prose narration and historical records, a new possibility arises to speak about topics that are difficult to discuss—yet necessary.
The 33 stories that make up the collection “No One on the Heaven” allow you to look at war through the eyes of its victims: soldiers, civilians, the occupied, the evacuees—men and women of all ages and nationalities. A unique narrative is formed from real memories, testimonies, diaries, and observations—creating a tragic, but true and realistic image of wartime. Yes, Xenia Buksha’s characters are not real. But they take part in real situations, live real lives, and speak with real voices.
