ORLANDO FIGESOpis
Drawing on a huge range of sources - letters, memoirs, conversations - Orlando Figes tells the story of how Russians tried to endure life under Stalin. Those who shaped the political system became, very frequently, its victims. Those who were its victims were frequently quite blameless. "The Whisperers" recreates the sort of maze in which Russians found themselves, where an unwitting wrong turn could either destroy a family or, perversely, later save it: a society in which everyone spoke in whispers - whether to protect themselves, their families, neighbours or friends - or to inform on them.
Review
'Wonderful ... an amazing panoramic view ... I've rarely read anything like it' Claire Tomalin 'Awesome ... one of the most unforgettable books I have ever read. I defy anyone to read it without weeping at its human suffering, cruelty and courage ... a celebration of family love in an epoch of hellish cruelty ... now in this book these righteous heroes have their rightful memorial' - Simon Sebag Montefiore, Mail on Sunday 'This is a heart-rending book ... its importance cannot be overestimated ... This book should be made compulsory reading in Russia today' - Antony Beevor, author of, Stalingrad 'A masterful account of lost and stolen lives' Sunday Times

Book Description
'Here is history that goes beyond explorations of great events, investigating the inner lives of those Soviet millions forced to whisper ... saves myriad voices from oblivion'
Ian Pindar, Guardian
'[A] truly impressive history ... Figes follows the private lives of an entire generation as they succumb to a cramped, claustrophobic world of public surveillance and constant fear ... in an era of excessive communication it is chastening to read of a time when careless talk cost lives.'
Alexander Cockburn, Times
'The strength of The Whisperers is the range of the individual testimonies. The family sagas in this vast canvas are of scarcely believable tenacity and endurance. No novelist would dare invent such feats and such coincidences ... Terror is vivid on page after page'
Anne Applebaum, Spectator
'Figes's descriptions of the children of political prisoners are extraordinarily moving'
