Ukrainian Lessons

Charlotte Higgins

£22.00


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.
