What a find! The world at the beginning of the 20th century. These are the last days of old Odessa: In the multicultural and tolerant city, where Ukrainian and Russian, Jewish and German, Armenian and Greek coexist, the five siblings of the Milgrom family grow up amidst revolutionary violence and assimilation. However, their life paths soon diverge in dramatic ways. Vladimir Jabotinsky, a brilliant columnist and combative co-founder of the Zionist movement, embarks on an imaginary-novelistic journey to the city where he was born in 1880 and spent his childhood and youth. A treasure from the Black Sea: The German translation took more than seventy years to appear. A passionate reflection on the time when much was changing in Odessa.
