Светлана Алексиевич е Нобеловият лауреат за литература за 2015 г. Отличието бе присъжда на белоруската писателка за нейното „многозвучно писане, монумент на страданието и смелостта в нашето време“. Онова, което тя прави, отбелязват от Шведската академия, е да задълбочи разбиранията ни за цяла епоха – чрез своя изключителен метод грижливо да създава колажи от човешки гласове.

Светлана Алексиевич е родена през 1948 г. в украинския град Ивано-Франкивск, родителите ѝ са белорусец и украинка. След края на военната служба на бащата семейството се мести в Беларус. Светлана учи в гимназията, после завършва журналистика в университета в Минск (1967-72 г.). Алексиевич работи като учител и журналист. Всеки от трудовете ѝ е плод на мащабни проучвания – интервюта с между 500 и 700 души, преглед на хиляди документи, посещения на терен. Наричана е „археоложката на комунизма“.

With her "documentary novels", Svetlana Alexievich, who is a journalist, moves in the boundary between reporting and fiction.

In 2015 Ms Alexievich was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.
