Krátky popis
An epic history of the ‘other’ Europe, a place of conflict and
coexistence, of faith and folklore. ‘Do not rush to bid farewell to
eastern Europe until reading this book. Meticulously researched and
beautifully written, this very personal story of the place that one
can’t find on the map pays tribute to the origins of the
experiences, cultures and ideas that continue to shape political
and ideological battles of the modern world.’ Serhii Plokhy Eastern
Europe is more than the sum total of its annexations, invasions and
independence declarations. From the Baltics to the Balkans, from
Prague to Kiev, the area exuded a tragicomic character like no
other. This is a paean for a disappearing world of movable borders,
sacred groves and syncretism. And an invitation to not forget. ***
A SPECTATOR BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023 ‘An insightful chronicle…
distilling more than a decade of research, [Mikanowski] carefully
argues that if something marks out Europe’s eastern half, it is not
homogeneity but wild, glorious diversity.’ ?Economist ‘A lively and
sweeping history.’ ?Washington Post ‘Goodbye Eastern Europe is a
thematic history of a divided half-continent, a goulash of imperial
histories, shifting frontiers and heartbreaking family stories,
spiced with myth and poet-martyrs, and deeply satisfying on the
palate… vital and informed.’ ?TLS
