This Reissue Gathers Two Deeply Moving Essays—Written More Than Fifty Years Apart By Józef Wittlin And Philippe Sands—Into One Elegant Volume, Inviting Readers Who Love Literary History, European Cities, And Stories Of Memory And Resilience. The Tone Is Lyrical, Reflective, And At Times Elegiac, Offering Consolation And Illumination For Anyone Drawn To Places Where Joy And Sorrow Coexist.
Wittlin's Lyrical Piece, Written In Exile, Offers A Heartfelt Lament For Lwów As It Once Was, Painting A City Alive With Memory And Life That Upheaval Has Since Transformed. Philippe Sands, A Lawyer And Descendant Of This Storied Place, Follows With A Careful Examination Of What Lviv Has Lost And What Endures, Weaving Emotional Depth With Precise Analysis. The Volume Is Beautifully Enhanced By Eva Hoffman's Preface And The Newly Photographed Images By Diana Matar, Which Together Create A Vivid Dialogue Between Text And Image Across Decades. City Of Lions Is Not Just A Love Letter To A Lost City; It Is A Powerful Reminder Of The Historical Fault Lines That Continue To Shape Our World.
City Of Lions Is Structured Around Two Distinct Voices—Wittlin’S Intimate Exile-Era Meditation And Sands’S Contemporary, Evidence-Driven Inquiry—Two Perspectives That IlluminReader reviews
