Description
City of Lions: A Portrait of a City in Two Acts This poignant and evocative portrayal of Ukraine's city of Lviv is presented in two essays, separated by time and circumstance. Written by Jozef Wittlin and Philippe Sands, the book offers a powerful and melancholy evocation of the city's history, with a special resonance for today. The city, known by various names over the centuries, is situated along the fault lines of Europe's history. Wittlin's lyrical essay, written in exile, is a deep cry of love and pain for his city, while Sands' finely honed exploration interweaves a lawyer's love of evidence with the emotional heft of a descendant of Lviv. With a preface by Eva Hoffman and stunning new photographs by Diana Matar, City of Lions is a moving tribute to a city that has known both beauty and devastation.
