When soldiers breaking up a protest kill a deaf boy, Petya, the gunshot becomes the last thing the citizens hear--they all have gone deaf, and their dissent becomes coordinated by sign language. The story follows the private lives of townspeople encircled by public violence: a newly married couple, Alfonso and Sonya, expecting a child; the brash Momma Galya, instigating the insurgency from her puppet theater; and Galya's girls, heroically teaching signing by day and by night luring soldiers one by one to their deaths behind the curtain. At once a love story, an elegy, and an urgent plea, Ilya Kaminsky's long-awaited \u003ci\u003eDeaf Republic\u003c\/i\u003e confronts our time's vicious atrocities and our collective silence in the face of them.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51376129310943,"sku":"9781555978310","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/PrMl5bMru89781555978310.webp?v=1789214265"},{"product_id":"the-ecco-anthology-of-international-poetry-paperback","title":"The Ecco Anthology of International Poetry - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdited by Ilya Kaminsky and Susan Harris of Words Without Borders, \u003cem\u003eThe Ecco Anthology of International Poetry \u003c\/em\u003eoffers a selection of the finest international poetry from the 20th century in the best English translations available. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProviding in many cases the first and only English language translations of acclaimed poets from the world over, \u003cem\u003eThe Ecco Anthology of International Poetry\u003c\/em\u003e is a unique treasure and resource which Gregory Orr proclaims, \"a stunning, indispensable anthology\" and Edward Hirsch calls, \"a modern book of wonders.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"From canonical modernists like Valéry, Vallejo, and Pasternak to younger poets of today, the Ecco Anthology collects an amazing spectrum of poetic voices from around the world.\"--John Ashbery\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this remarkable anthology, introduced and edited by Ilya Kaminsky and Susan Harris, poetic visions from the twentieth century will be reinforced and in many ways revised.
