Kneips of Lviv

The new, substantially supplemented and exquisitely illustrated edition of "Knaipa Lviv" by the leading Ukrainian writer Yury Vynnychuk immerses us in the fascinating world of old Lviv cafes, restaurants and hotels from the first page. It is here that life rages in the most unexpected ways - new ideas are born, important matters are resolved, the most incredible gossip and sensations are created and spread. Local regulars are people of various formats: politicians, soldiers, scientists, public figures and various batyars. Writers, playwrights, and artists are also permanent actors. The atmosphere of Lviv kneips excites their imagination and inspires them to perform feats - sometimes creative, and sometimes heroic. The history of Lviv kneips, which appears in legends and real facts, fascinates, and its easy presentation, imbued with subtle humor, leaves a very pleasant aftertaste.
