Specificatii
A 2016 YALSA Award for Excellence in Nonfiction for Young Adults
FinalistNational Book Award winner M. T. Anderson delivers a
brilliant and riveting account of the Siege of Leningrad and the
role played by Russian composer Shostakovich and his Leningrad
Symphony. In September 1941, Adolf Hitler's Wehrmacht surrounded
Leningrad in what was to become one of the longest and most
destructive sieges in Western history--almost three years of
bombardment and starvation that culminated in the harsh winter of
1943-1944. More than a million citizens perished. Survivors recall
corpses littering the frozen streets, their relatives having
neither the means nor the strength to bury them. Residents burned
books, furniture, and floorboards to keep warm; they ate family
pets and--eventually--one another to stay alive. Trapped between
the Nazi invading force and the Soviet government itself was
composer Dmitri Shostakovich, who would write a symphony that
roused, rallied, eulogized, and commemorated his fellow
citizens--the Leningrad Symphony, which came to occupy a surprising
place of prominence in the eventual Allied victory. This is the
true story of a city under siege: the triumph of bravery and
defiance in the face of terrifying odds. It is also a look at the
power--and layered meaning--of music in beleaguered lives. Symphony
for the City of the Dead is a masterwork thrillingly told and
impeccably researched by National Book Award-winning author M. T.
Anderson.
