- More about City of Lions
Lviv, Lwów, Lvov, and Lemberg are now in western Ukraine. The 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.

Publisher: Pushkin Press
Lviv, Lwów, Lvov, and Lemberg, known by various names, is a city located in western Ukraine. Throughout its history, it has traversed different countries, standing at the crossroads of Europe's past. City of Lions presents two essays, written over half a century apart, yet united by the same city. Józef Wittlin's evocative and lyrical paean to his Lwów, penned in exile, is a heartfelt lament for his beloved city, where most of the people he knew had either fled or met their demise. Philippe Sands' meticulous exploration of what has been lost and what remains intertwines a lawyer's passion for evidence with the emotional weight of a descendant of Lviv. With an enlightening preface by Eva Hoffman and stunning new photographs by Diana Matar, City of Lions is a poignant and melancholic evocation of central Europe in the twentieth century, resonating particularly strongly in today's troubled continent.
