Grad lopova
During the 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 chess enthusiast, and Kolya, a charming Red Army soldier, have one week to complete 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. In this touching and humorous novel, David Benioff takes the reader on a fascinating and terrifying journey through Russia during World War II. But City of Thieves is not just a story about war. It is a story about growing up, about friendship and love, about cold and hunger, about survival, courage and madness, and about a wild adventure that lasted only a few days, but marked an entire life. "A touching, provocative and moving novel imbued 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 the rest of your life, 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 "A thrilling war novel that, with the perfect balance of humor, suspense, and tragedy, vividly depicts the despair of people caught between two opposing forces during World War II."
