"I love life in its living form, life that’s found on the street,
in human conversations, shouts, and moans." So begins this speech
delivered in Russian at Cornell University by Svetlana Alexievich,
winner of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Literature. In poetic language,
Alexievich traces the origins of her deeply affecting blend of
journalism, oral history, and creative writing. Cornell Global
Perspectives is an imprint of Cornell University’s Mario Einaudi
Center for International Studies. The works examine critical global
challenges, often from an interdisciplinary perspective, and are
intended for a non-specialist audience. The Distinguished Speaker
Series presents edited transcripts of talks delivered at Cornell,
both in the original language and in translation.
