Voices from Chernobyl: The Oral History of a Nuclear Disaster (Russian: Чернобыльская молитва, romanized: Chernobylskaya molitva, lit. 'Chernobyl Prayer'), published as Chernobyl Prayer: A Chronicle of the Future in the United Kingdom, is a book about the Chernobyl disaster by the Belarusian Nobel Laureate Svetlana Alexievich.[1]
Chernobyl Prayer was first published in Russian in 1997; a revised, updated edition was released in 2013. The American translation was the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction recipient during 2005.[2]
Adaptations
The HBO television miniseries Chernobyl often relies on the memories of Pripyat locals, as told by Svetlana Alexievich in her book.[3]
A manga adaptation of the book, drawn by Yuuta Kumagai, and supervised by Tetsuji Imanaka and Kazunobu Gotou is published in the bi-weekly Young Animal magazine, having 3 volumes as of February of 2025.
The 1999 English edition of Voices from Chernobyl (Aurum Press), translated by Antonina W. Bouis, was also the principal source for Heavy Water: a poem for Chernobyl, a long poem in multiple voices, which received the Arvon Daily Telegraph International Poetry Prize.[4] This poetry was later the basis of the documentary film Heavy Water: A Film for Chernobyl by Phil Grabsky and David Bickerstaff.[5]
