Beskrivning

Courage and Fear is a study of a multicultural city in times when all norms collapse. Ola Hnatiuk presents a meticulously documented portrait of Lviv’s ethnically diverse intelligentsia during World War Two. As the Soviet, Nazi, and once again Soviet occupations tear the city’s social fabric apart, groups of Polish, Ukrainian, and Jewish doctors, academics, and artists try to survive, struggling to manage complex relationships and to uphold their ethos. As their pre-war lives are violently upended, courage and fear shape their actions. Ola Hnatiuk employs diverse sources in several languages to tell the story of Lviv from a multi-ethnic perspective and to challenge the national narratives dominant in Central and Eastern Europe.

Recensioner i media

“The biography of Lviv during this time period is an exceptional and beautifully written story, one that is available in both Ukrainian and Polish. Hnatiuk presents the story free from academic jargon and does not overbear with the amount of material. A simple description has never been enough for Lviv, the topic of so many academic and non-academic works. Yet Hnatiuk, master of words that she is, rooted in both Ukrainian and Polish culture, has succeeded in presenting it as completely as possible.” —Dorota Sieroń-Galusek, Eastern Café
