Grad lopova

Grad lopova

David Benioff

In that coldest winter in history, in a starving city under siege, two young men will find themselves in a completely unexpected, absurd and hopeless adventure that will soon take on epic proportions.

Lev, a shy teenager and lover of chess, and Kolya, a charming Red Army soldier, have a week for a seemingly impossible mission: to search the devastated interior of Russia in search of a dozen eggs. If they return to Petrograd empty-handed, they will die. David Benioff, in this touching and at the same time humorous novel, takes the reader on a fascinating and terrifying journey through Russia during the Second World War. But City of Thieves is not just a story about war. It is a story about growing up, about friendship and love, cold and hunger, about survival, courage and craziness, and about a wild adventure that lasted only a few days and marked a lifetime. "A moving, provocative and poignant novel infused with humor and suspense. David Benioff is an extraordinary storyteller." Khaled Hosseini "City of Thieves is one of those books that you will remember for a lifetime, because it brings the most valuable thing that the written word can offer, and that is a superb story!" The New York Times Book Review "An exciting war novel that, with the perfect balance of humor, tension and tragedy, vividly portrays the desperation of people caught between two opposing forces during World War II."
