How much is a person worth

The memoirs of Euphrosinia Kersnovskaya (1907–1994) titled «How much is a person worth» is one of the most remarkable memoirs of the 20th century. It is an almost incredible story about a duel with a totalitarian state and how one... can emerge victorious from this duel. Kersnovskaya endured 20 years of exile, prisons, and camps, but deprivation and severe trials did not break her. The book narrates about strength and helplessness, about suffering and humiliation, about despair, about death and blood. But you close it with a sense of light and faith that a person can remain human in all circumstances – and «not retreat a single step from the face, but to be alive, alive and only, alive and only until the end». The edition contains a color insert with 32 author's watercolor illustrations created as illustrations for the memoirs, as well as an article titled «About the Author», which discusses Kersnovskaya's fate and the history of writing the book.
