Więcej o książce
Through this extraordinary collection of their letters to relatives and friends living outside the former Yugoslavia, we hear the moving voices of the victims of months of siege and bombardment.These eighty letters - many of which were smuggled out at great personal risk - with their prayers, their curses, their cries for help and occasional astonishing humour, speak to us in a way no other documentary material can, describing the horror of the tragedy as it unfolds through the seasons of the year. If you have a conscience, the voices of the people of this stricken city will both shock and move you as you share their suffering and marvel at their courage and enduring spirit.The urgency of bringing these letters to the attention of the outside world has been a race against time for Anna Cataldi, who was entrusted with them by victims's families. Once we have read them, she believes we will no longer be able to ignore the plight of this oppressed people, huddled in a ruined city, trapped in a war that is as fierce as it is forgotten by the world.
