Rússia, l'escenari més gran del món

Manel Alías has worked for more than seven years as a correspondent under the Vladimir Putin regime. During this period of news and reports, he has traveled the immensity of Russia, collecting extraordinary stories that did not fit in a chronicle but that help to understand the country in its complexity. A five-year-old girl who watched in amazement, while planting potatoes, the landing of Yuri Gagarin, humanity's first cosmonaut. The "radioactive" DJ who made us forget with his music the certain death that was chasing the Chernobyl liquidators. The cleaning woman who became the first female mayor of a small town. The beautiful image of the grandmother who skates every day on Lake Baikal. The peculiarities and harshness of life in the coldest inhabited area on the planet... With a reporter's nose, the author traces the great issues that single out this country of war and poetry, but also the closest daily events, those that affect his neighbors and himself, and which are equally fascinating in the eyes of the readers. History, literature, politics, tradition, extreme weather, war and an authentic, singular beauty, made of words and witnesses. This is the raw material on which Manel Alías builds the polyhedral story of an amazing territory and people.
