Una lectura imprescindible para descifrar los orígenes de la guerra en Ucrania y la frágil situación de Europa del Este. En el otoño de 1991, en plena desintegración del imperio soviético, Anne Applebaum -ganadora del Premio Pulitzer por Gulag. Historia de los campos de concentración soviéticos- emprendió un viaje desde el Báltico hasta el mar Negro, pasando por Lituania, Bielorrusia, Los Cárpatos y Ucrania, con la intención de comprender la nueva configuración de unos territorios en constante conflicto. Por el camino descubrió un amplio abanico de culturas identitarias, religiones y aspiraciones nacionalistas que competían entre sí. Si bien han transcurrido más de treinta años, las vidas aquí narradas se leen hoy como un registro documental de un mundo que ya no existe. Applebaum, una excelente observadora, teje con gran habilidad la desgarradora historia de una región incomprendida a través de los relatos de personas corrientes, que describen el modo en que los acontecimientos históricos influyen y marcan la vida de la gente. Ubicado entre la crónica periodística, la literatura de viajes y el ensayo histórico, Entre Este y Oeste ilumina con brillantez los orígenes de la crisis geopolítica entre Rusia y Europa y nos ofrece algunas claves para entender el alma de estas tierras fronterizas.

Anne Applebaum is a columnist for the Washington Post and a Pulitzer-prize winning historian. She is also Professor of Practice at the London School of Economics’s Institute of Global Affairs where she runs Arena, a program on disinformation and 21st century propaganda.

Formerly a member of the Washington Post editorial board, she has also worked as the Foreign and Deputy Editor of the Spectator magazine in London, as the Political Editor of the Evening Standard, and as a columnist at Slate and at several British newspapers, including the Daily and Sunday Telegraphs.

Her newest book, Red Famine: Stalin’s War on Ukraine was published in October 2017.

Her previous books include Iron Curtain: The Crushing of Eastern Europe, 1944-1956,  which describes the imposition of Soviet totalitarianism in Central Europe after the Second World War. Iron Curtain won the 2012 Cundill Prize for Historical Literature and the Duke of Westminster Medal.

She is also the author of Gulag: A History, which narrates the history of the Soviet concentration camps system and describes daily life in the camps, making extensive use of recently opened Russian archives as well as memoirs and interviews. Gulag won the Pulitzer Prize for non-fiction in 2004.

Both Iron Curtain and Gulag: A History  have appeared in more than two dozen translations, including all major European languages. Both books were National Book Award finalists.

Anne Applebaum is also the co-author of a cookbook, From a Polish Country House Kitchen, and a recently re-published travelogue, Between East and West: Across the Borderlands of Europe, which describes a journey across Lithuania, Belarus and Ukraine made just before the break-up of the Soviet Union.
