Drsný, nezapomenutelný příběh ze současného ruského vězení.
Kniha je šokujícím vylíčením osudu mladého Angličana a jeho boje o přežití v krutých, až středověkých podmínkách vězeňského tábora v putinovském Rusku - poutavý příběh ze současnosti v tradici Motýlka či Půlnočního expresu.
English
An unforgettably powerful memoir in the tradition of Papillon and Midnight Express
Tig Hague arrived in Moscow on a routine business trip. He'd packed in a hurry. An error filling in his immigration form provoked officials to go through his bags. To Tig's horror they found a tiny piece of cannabis in the change pocket of an old pair of jeans, forgotten since returning from a friend's recent stag weekend.
He spent the next four years in a Russian Gulag.
Conditions were medieval. He survived on his wits in the company of men who would never see freedom again. He was sustained only by the long-distance love and support of his fiancée Lucy.
Zone 22 is an astonishing story of a resilience and survival — the story of a man whose single careless mistake spiralled into a hell of almost unimaginable awfulness.
Tig Hague works in the City of London on the Russian desk of an international bank. He's married with a daughter and lives in Essex.
