Leben und Tod in einer Stadt der Träume
Von Alexander Puschkin und Isaac Babel über den zionistischen Abtrünnigen Wladimir Jabotinsky bis hin zum Filmemacher Sergei Eisenstein – eine erstaunliche Anzahl von Genies hat Odessa, den legendären Hafen der kosmopolitischen Freiheit am Schwarzen Meer, geprägt. Charles Kings »Odessa«, das sich auf eine Fülle von Originalquellen stützt und den ersten detaillierten Bericht über die Zerstörung der jüdischen Gemeinde der Stadt während des Zweiten Weltkriegs enthält, ist sowohl Geschichte als auch Elegie – eine lebendige Chronik einer echten multikulturellen Stadt und ihrer bemerkenswerten Widerstandsfähigkeit in den letzten zwei Jahrhunderten. In seinem aufwändig recherchierten Buch erweckt King die Geschichten der Russen, Juden, Türken, Griechen, Italiener, Deutschen und Rumänen zum Leben, die die durch und durch gemischte Stadt Odessa ausmachen. Kings Fähigkeit, die Geheimnisse der Stadt – sowohl die schönen als auch die dunklen – zu enthüllen, bietet ein faszinierendes Prisma, durch das sich Odessa ganz anders betrachten lässt als andere Städte.
