Lviv, Lwów, Lvov, Lemberg. Known by a variety of names, the City
of Lions is now in western Ukraine. Situated in different countries
during its history, it is a city located along the fault-lines of
Europe's history. City of Lions presents two essays, written more
than half a century apart - but united by one city. Józef
Wittlin's sensual and lyrical paean to his Lwów, written in exile,
is a deep cry of love and pain for his city, where most people he
knew have fled or been killed. Philippe Sands' finely honed
exploration of what has been lost and what remains interweaves a
lawyer's love of evidence with the emotional heft of a descendant
of Lviv. With an illuminating preface by Eva Hoffman and stunning
new photographs by Diana Matar, City of Lions is a powerful and
melancholy evocation of central Europe in the twentieth century,
with a special resonance for today's troubled continent.
