Overview

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 Odessa is both history and elegy–a vivid chronicle of a multicultural city and its remarkable resilience over the past two centuries.
