COMMUNITY RATING




Svetlana Geier is considered one of the world’s greatest translators of Russian literature. Her new German translations of Dostoevsky’s five great novels, known as the five elephants, are literary milestones and the culmination of a life’s work. But her success has come with its share of loss. As a child in the Ukraine, Svetlana witnessed first-hand the impact of Stalin’s purges. As a young girl, she watched Nazi forces occupy her country. Her love of the written word and gift for languages ensured her survival. But it forced her to make a choice that altered the course of her life.
