Book description

Dialogues on War is a series of conversations between Ukrainian and foreign intellectuals about the war that has shaken the world and its perceived order.

It’s a book about a horrifying experience, seemingly incomprehensible in the 21st century, which, however, constitutes Ukrainians’ day-to-day reality. It’s also a book about stereotypes, chipped but not yet broken and not yet eradicated from the foreigners’ minds. It’s a book about how to survive and how to live on.

Over 80 renowned Ukrainian and foreign artists and thinkers had searched the language for an honest dialogue on war – among them Anne Applebaum, Myroslav Marynovych, Edith Eger, Volodymyr Yermolenko, Timothy Snyder, Victoria Amelina, Orhan Pamuk, Iryna Tsilyk, Francis Fukuyama, Oleksandr Mykhed, Margaret Atwood and dozens of other outstanding contemporary minds.
