”Men varför städa varje dag i ett utrymme där det knappt finns någon fri golvyta och där alla är mycket noga med att inte lämna något skräp efter sig? Ett enda hårstrå kan ge upphov till ett stort bråk, därför finns det inga slarvpellar i de ordentliga husen. Och ändå: varje dag storstädning.”
Utdrag ur Maksim Znaks bok Zekamerone

Under protesterna i Belarus år 2020 greps poeten, författaren och juristen Maksim Znak och dömdes till tio års fängelse. Redan i häktet började han skriva och smuggla ut vad som skulle komma att bli boken Zekamerone – hundra berättelser om livet i fängelset – ett överraskande humoristiskt vittnesmål om motstånd, medkänsla och uthållighet i en tillvaro som sätter en människa på hårda prov.

I samarbete med Ersatz förlag, Scotland Street Press och Maksim Znaks familj publicerar vi idag texterna ”Det är vi”, ”Humanitärt bistånd” och ”Boken” från Maksim Znaks bok Zekamerone i PEN/Opp.

Alla texter går att läsa på svenska, engelska och belarusiska. Den svenska översättningen är gjord av Hanna Sandborgh och Ola Wallin – utgiven av Ersatz förlag 2023. Den engelska översättningen är gjord av Jim Dingley och Ella Dingley – utgiven av Scotland Street Press 2023. Den belarusiska översättningen tillhandahålls av familjen – översättaren är anonym.
