Aprašymas

A deeply personal, first-hand account of art, survival and resistance in wartime Ukraine

Charlotte Higgins never imagined she would report on a war. But in the autumn of 2022, seven months into Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, she travelled there to cover a literary festival. The experience would change her life.

In a war fuelled by the attempted erasure of Ukrainian culture - one that has killed countless artists and created countless more - art has become a matter of life and death. In times of war, art and literature are where difficulty and complexity survive: where the most painful, unspeakable truths can still be faced.

Drawing on two decades of cultural journalism, three years of reporting trips to Ukraine, and her training as a classicist, Ukrainian Lessons explores the profound connections between war, art and life. It is a searing, urgent and unforgettable book about what artists are prepared to risk - and why culture remains worth fighting for.
