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. It is a searing, urgent and unforgettable book about what artists are prepared to risk - and why culture remains worth fighting for. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56420598382965,"sku":"9781787335974","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781787335974.jpg?v=1774537743","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781787335974","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
