Second-hand Time

The First Decade Collection is a limited edition series of ten hardbacks celebrating the breadth of Fitzcarraldo Editions' publishing over the first ten years. With a run of 1000 copies, each book is casebound in fine linen cloth and features signed and numbered book plates, a belly band and custom marbled endpapers.

Second-hand Time is the major work from Svetlana Alexievich, the 2015 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate, a magnificent requiem to a civilization in ruins, a brilliant, poignant and unique portrait of post-Soviet society out of the stories of ordinary women and men.
