"Patriota es, por momentos, divertido, apasionado, reflexivo y tr gico, impregnado con el caracter stico humor ir nico y el idealismo de Navalny... un relato profundamente personal de un esposo y padre que enfrenta la realidad de que nunca volver a estar con su familia." -- The New York Times

El ltimo mensaje al mundo de un resistente pol tico ruso que pag con su vida el precio de sus convicciones.

Alex i Navalni empez a escribir Patriota poco despu s del envenenamiento que casi lo mata en 2020. Este libro es la historia completa de su vida: su juventud, sus inicios en el activismo, su familia y su compromiso con la causa de la democracia frente a los esfuerzos de la superpotencia rusa por silenciarlo. Con prosa gil y elocuente, que incluye la correspondencia in dita que logr transferir desde su encierro, Navalni relata su carrera pol tica y los intentos de asesinato que l y su c rculo padecieron, as como la infatigable campa a que, junto a su equipo, llevaron a cabo contra un r gimen cada vez m s autoritario.

Con la misma sinceridad y coraje que le definieron, Patriota es un conmovedor relato de sus a os finales en una de las prisiones m s brutales que existen, un recuerdo de por qu los principios de la libertad individual son tan fundamentales y una llamada entusiasta a continuar con la obra por la que dio la vida.

"Este libro es un testimonio no solo de la vida de Alexei, sino de su inquebrantable compromiso en la lucha contra la dictadura, una lucha por la que lo dio todo, incluida su vida. A trav s de sus p ginas, los lectores conocer n al hombre que am profundamente, un hombre de profunda integridad y valent a inquebrantable. Compartir su historia no solo honrar su memoria, sino que tambi n inspirar a otros a defender lo que es correcto y a nunca perder de vista los valores que realmente importan." --Yulia Navalnaya

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER - BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker, The Atlantic, NPR

"Patriot is by turns funny, fiery, reflective and tragic, laced with Navalny's trademark wry humor and idealism... a gutting personal account from a husband and father facing the reality that he will never be with his family again." -- The New York Times

"Honest" -- The Washington Post - "Shocking" -- The Atlantic - "Uplifting." -- Vanity Fair

"A testament to resilience" -- Associated Press - "Will be seen as a historic text." -- The Economist

The powerful and moving memoir of a fearless political opposition leader who paid the ultimate price for his beliefs. Alexei Navalny began writing Patriot shortly after his near-fatal poisoning in 2020. It is the full story of his life: his youth, his call to activism, his marriage and family, his commitment to challenging a world super-power determined to silence him, and his total conviction that change cannot be resisted--and will come.

In vivid, page-turning detail, including never-before-seen correspondence from prison, Navalny recounts, among other things, his political career, the many attempts on his life, and the lives of the people closest to him, and the relentless campaign he and his team waged against an increasingly dictatorial regime.

Written with the passion, wit, candor, and bravery for which he was justly acclaimed, Patriot is Navalny's final letter to the world: a moving account of his last years spent in the most brutal prison on earth; a reminder of why the principles of individual freedom matter so deeply; and a rousing call to continue the work for which he sacrificed his life.

"This book is a testament not only to Alexei's life, but to his unwavering commitment to the fight against dictatorship--a fight he gave everything for, including his life. Through its pages, readers will come to know the man I loved deeply--a man of profound integrity and unyielding courage. Sharing his story will not only honor his memory but also inspire others to stand up for what is right and to never lose sight of the values that truly matter."

--Yulia Navalnaya
