In this powerful work of history, Orlando Figes chronicles the private history of family life during the violent and repressive reign of Josef Stalin. Drawing on a vast collection of interviews and archives, \u003ci\u003eThe Whisperers\u003c\/i\u003e re-creates the anguish of family members turned against one another--of the paranoia, alienation, and treachery that poisoned private life in Russia for generations. A panoramic portrait of a society in which everyone spoke in whispers, \u003ci\u003eThe Whisperers\u003c\/i\u003e is rigorously compassionate. . . . A humbling monument to the evil and endurance of Russia's Soviet past and, implicitly, a guide to its present (\u003ci\u003eThe Economist\u003c\/i\u003e).","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49595636318481,"sku":"GOR002996056","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49790690590993,"sku":"CIN0805074619G","price":8.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49797260149009,"sku":"CIN0805074619VG","price":6.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0805074619.jpg?v=1751233662","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/whisperers-book-orlando-figes-9780805074611","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
