Literatura în înţelegerea Svetlanei Aleksievici – o „colecţie de voci ale vieţii înseşi”
Svetlana Aleksievici’s Understanding of Literature: a “Voice Collection of Life Itself”

Summary/Abstract: The article is about Svetlana Aleksivici, a Belarusian writer who was awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in Literature “for her polyphonic writings”. The themes of her books are between journalism and literature because she felt that the best way to describe the horrors of the 20th century was not by creating fiction but through recording the testimonies of witnesses: “I'm searching life for observations, nuances, details. Because my interest in life is not the event as such, not war as such, not Chernobyl as such, not suicide as such. What I am interested in is what happens to the human being, what happens to it in of our time. How does man behave and react. How much of the biological man is in him, how much of the man of his time, how much man of the man.” (Voices from Big Utopia)
