    Rights sold: France – NOIR SUR BLANC, Italia – LA NAVE DI TESEO, Spain – TUSQUETS, Ukraine – FOLIO

    Part historical treatise, part autobiographical narrative, and part literary review, Kyiv. A Fortress Over the Abyss is a profound exploration of Ukraine and its capital.

    The book traces Kyiv’s turbulent history, from the Mongol invasions to the devastation of the Russian Revolution, and now the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war. Despite centuries of hardship, Kyiv endures, upheld by the strength and perseverance of its people.

    Kyiv: A Fortress Over the Abyss offers a captivating journey through the city’s history, folklore, and literary heritage.
