Beschreibung:
Maxim Znak is an international lawyer and member of the Belarusian resistance movement. He was arrested in autumn 2020 and sentenced to ten years in prison in 2021. He is a recognised prisoner of conscience. This book made its way outside the prison walls and was sent to Jim Dingley the English translator in early 2022. Jim Dingley is a scholar and academic in Ukrainian, Russian and Belarusian Studies from University College London. Now retired, he is an award winning translator and has collaborated on this book with his wife Ella who is from Belarus. Ella Dingley is from Minsk where she studied Belarusian and Russian languages and literatures. She has worked as a language teacher and for the BBC World Service. She is married to Jim Dingley.
One hundred stories written in prison in Belarus in 2021 awaiting trial. While the futures of fellow prisoners hang in the balance, every detail of life is important: from the steps of the cockroach to the snores of cell mates.
