They are the result of more than fifty years of research into government reports, contemporary newspapers, travel and imaginative literature, official and unofficial histories of Odesa, census reports, almanacs, university records, city directories, consular letters and reports, life histories, and genealogical tables. These well-written articles depict a city replete with opportunities, as well as a small world with many contrasts--from its enterprising and prosperous industrialists, bankers, merchants, and real estate and insurance agents to individuals who too often turned to violence, as happened during the pogroms of 1871, 1881, and 1905. ... [The book's] format lays the underpinnings for what is a brilliant outline of the many peculiarities of this energetic, vibrant, and cosmopolitan oasis of beauty and freedom."</p><p>--J.-Guy Lalande, St. Francis Xavier University, <i>East/West: Journal of Ukrainian Studies </i></p><br><br>"With a profound understanding of the multi-ethnic and multilingual character of the city, Herlihy brings together the life stories of famous Odessites with a rich discussion of Odessa's unique political, sociocultural, and economic conditions across the centuries. In sum, <i>Odessa Recollected: The Port and the People</i> is a crucial read for all those studying or even visiting Odessa, the 'Pearl by the Sea'."<br>-- Ivan Kozachenko, <i>Journal of European Studies</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>A native San Franciscan, <strong>Patricia Herlihy</strong> graduated from the University of California, Berkeley and obtained her PhD in History from the University of Pennsylvania.
