Title	Svoboda prihodit v polnoch'
Description	Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre’s Freedom at Midnight is a documentary investigation of the Partition of India. In Indian historiography, 1947 is both the momentous year in which independence was achieved and the source of painful questions that remain unresolved. The Partition itself is remembered as a national tragedy. Was it inevitable? Who bears responsibility — the British authorities and their policy of “divide and rule,” Muhammad Ali Jinnah and his determination to create a Muslim state at any cost, the Indian National Congress, or Mahatma Gandhi personally? How might history have unfolded if South Asia had remained politically united? And, finally, how were these events perceived from outside India? Since its publication in 1975, Collins and Lapierre’s Freedom at Midnight has remained one of the major books on this dramatic turning point in the history of India and the entire region. The two journalists set out seriously to investigate an extraordinarily complex set of historical and political questions and ultimately created an expansive work of narrative nonfiction that captures the portrait of an era. In the more than half a century since its first publication, the book has become a genuine classic. It has been translated into dozens of languages, reissued many times, and adapted for the screen twice. Translated by Olga Grinkrug.
