A cultural portrait of eastern Ukraine, and an urgent, essential read.
Since the start of Russia’s war against Ukraine in 2014, its eastern region – Donbas – has been synonymous with conflict. With the escalation of that war in 2022, its cities such as Bakhmut and Lysychansk have become familiar to us through the images and reports of brutal devastation. Victoria Donovan excavates a rich, multicultural history of this area, and paints a radically different picture.
Travelling from the dramatic, jagged peaks of Bilokuzmynivka to the marshland of Mariupol, from a warehouse rave to an abandoned gypsum mine, the physical world and its importance to this region’s identity is brought to vivid life. But above all else, by speaking to those whose lives are embedded there now – curators, artists, railway workers, young people who have grown up amidst instability and destruction – Donovan amplifies local voices and reveals the intensely personal lived reality of Putin’s war.
Revelatory, evocative and deeply humane, 
Life In Spite of Everything
 is a celebration of a country’s past and present, and its people’s tenacity, creativity and independence.

One of the nicest historical sights I have visited. Was not completely aware that I would get to see a Roman architecture in Britain. I must say, it was a day well spent!

Very old town. The car shuttled through the streets of Bath. It turned out that this was the hometown of &quot;Jane Austen&quot;, the female writer with &quot;Pride and Prejudice&quot;. Simple, beautiful, leisurely, peaceful, elegant and quiet. It can only be said that it is difficult to describe its beauty. very good. There are many tourists, but it is very orderly. The air is also very good. It feels very pleasant to walk quietly.

I enjoyed a day at Thermea! It&rsquo;s true &hellip; this is not a quiet spa! But we didn&rsquo;t mind that as we like to chat as well. At other spas we&rsquo;ve been to there is little or quiet chatter and people are often asked to stay quiet. At Thermea guests can get pretty loud in the hot springs or by the fire. We enjoyed a couple of sessions, like stretching and concentration. We really loved how these were offered to us. There is one steam room available for use and the other one is for an extra co

The Royal Crescent

The most famous attraction in Bath is also one of the most magnificent Georgian buildings in the UK. Looking at the Crescent Building outside is 30 connected houses, looking down from the mountains in the distance like a new moon, and echoing the circus not far away that means the sun. There is a lawn for tourists and local residents to rest and play. House No. 1 is a museum (not interesting to go), there are two houses in the middle that have been transformed into hotels (huge expensive), and the rest are private property. It&#39;s beautiful when it&#39;s sunny.
