Sobre este producto
- In 1989 the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact were at a crisis as the Communist political and military empire began to crack. In the spring of that year Elizabeth Scott, a student from Williams College studying abroad, found herself in Tbilisi little suspecting the events that would soon convulse this small republic. Her Georgian friends, like many of the youth throughout Georgia, backed the growing pro-freedom movement. When the Soviets brutally cracked down on the protests in April, Elizabeth found herself caught in the chaos, witnessing both her friends' courage and their peril under the weight of the Communist response, a brutal military crackdown that left death in its wake. Finding herself at times in the midst of Russian tanks and soldiers, Elizabeth also found herself drawn to the ancient Orthodox Faith of her hosts. The Sun Does Not Shine Without You recalls these harrowing events, their aftermath, and Elizabeth’s own part in them. {From the back cover} On the eve of the fall of Communism, high-level diplomatic treaty established a college exchange program between America and the Soviet Union. Elizabeth Scott was chosen to go to the Soviet republic of Georgia, where she studied the language and culture and lived with families who came to be dear friends. When her Georgian friends joined peaceful demonstrations demanding freedom from the USSR, and Soviet tanks rolled into town and brutally crushed the demonstrations, Elizabeth had to discover whether there was anything she could do to help. Join Elizabeth in a cross-cultural adventure to the mythical land of the Golden Fleece, and its unique culture, language, alphabet, and form of ancient Christianity—at a time when it was captive to an inhumane totalitarian state. With her, discover what it means to be a “human person” instead of a “Soviet person.”
