Goodbye Eastern Europe: An Intimate History of a Divided Land by Jacob Mikanowski

An epic history of the ‘other’ Europe, a place of conflict and coexistence, of faith and folklore.

Eastern Europe is more than the sum total of its annexations, invasions and independence declarations.

From the Baltics to the Balkans, from Prague to Kiev, the area exuded a tragicomic character like no other. This is a paean for a disappearing world of movable borders, sacred groves and syncretism. And an invitation to not forget.
