Una solitaria voz humana

These words by Svetlana Alexievich summarize the literary project that defines her entire oeuvre, marked by sensitivity and the courage to give voice to anonymous individuals. This volume brings together an excerpt from *The Unwomanly Face of War* and another from *Voices from Chernobyl*, two of her most representative books, in which she masterfully constructs a moving and heartbreaking collective narrative from oral testimonies that shift the focus to the intimate. Through these voices, human suffering finds a language capable of revealing what can only be understood through lived experience. This way of telling history has made her work one of the most unique of our time and earned her the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2015.
