In 'Dressed for a Ball in the Snow,' Monika Zgustova rescues the testimonies of nine women who survived the Gulag, the largest system of forced labor camps in history. Through their memories and personal objects, the author draws a moving portrait of these women, scientists, actresses, teachers, mathematicians, and poets, who found in literature, friendship, and humanity the strength to overcome the brutal Stalinist repression and return to everyday life. A song to life and the resilience of the human being.
Monika Zgustová is a Czech writer and translator. She is a key figure in the introduction of Czech literature in Spain, translating into Spanish and Catalan.
