<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Winner of a National Jewish Book Award<br /><br /> Fascinating....A humane and tragic survey of a great and tragic subject. --Jan Morris, <em>Literary Review</em><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>From Alexander Pushkin and Isaac Babel to Zionist renegade Vladimir Jabotinsky and filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein, an astonishing cast of geniuses helped shape Odessa, a legendary haven of cosmopolitan freedom on the Black Sea. Drawing on a wealth of original sources and offering the first detailed account of the destruction of the city's Jewish community during the Second World War, Charles King's <em>Odessa</em> is both history and elegy--a vivid chronicle of a multicultural city and its remarkable resilience over the past two centuries.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[A] finely written and evocative portrait....A worthy tribute to one of Europe's greatest and least-known cities.-- "The Economist"<br><br>King skillfully separates myth from fact....His writing is aesthetic without superficiality, and erudite without pretension. Reading [his] book is like traveling as your best self, the self that you never quite are, ready with every reference, worldly and wise.--Timothy Snyder "Wilson Quarterly"<br><br>Rich and riveting, complex and compelling, powerful and poetic.--Peter M. Gionatti "Newsday"<br><br>Eloquent and engaging.--Michael Schwirtz "Moment"<br><br>Engaging and highly enjoyable...King brings a travel writer's gift for clear prose and keen observation to history.--Matthew Kaminsky "The Daily Beast"<br>
