Between East and West. Across the borderlands of Europe - Anne Applebaum - książka
Producent: Penguin Books
After nearly two decades, a compelling look at Europe's borderlands re-emerges in print, capturing the transition from Soviet rule. Anne Applebaum embarked on a journey that spanned from the Baltic to the Black Sea, weaving through Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, and the Carpathians. Her work, "Between East and West," is enriched with vivid characters and tales of both tragedy and resilience, ultimately shedding light on the region's soul and its hidden history.Noted journalist Ryszard Kapuściński praises the book for invoking the essence of literary giants such as Franz Kafka and Bruno Schulz, bringing the dramatic Eastern borderlands to life. Historian Timothy Garton Ash describes it as a beautifully crafted and thought-provoking exploration of Europe's often-overlooked fringes. Robert Conquest sees it as a vivid and insightful examination of the lands between the Baltic and the Black Sea, rich in drama yet marked by desolation—a work both wise and instructive. Meanwhile, Norman Davies highlights its engaging blend of adventurous travel narrative and sophisticated reporting. Finally, Norman Stone assures readers of their complete immersion in Applebaum's masterful account.
