Chernobyl Prayer – Svetlana Alexievich

In Chernobyl Prayer, Nobel Prize–winning author Svetlana Alexievich gathers the raw, intimate testimonies of those who lived through the 1986 Chernobyl disaster—firefighters, widows, orphans, liquidators, and displaced families. Their voices reveal the fear, confusion, sacrifice, and love that shaped one of the worst nuclear catastrophes in history. This deeply human oral history exposes the silence and denial that followed the explosion, offering both a chronicle of suffering and a warning for our nuclear future.
