| Description: | Select Guide Rating Since 1963 Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, has been split by a militarised border. In Tales from a Divided City, 35 writers from all sides of the Cyprus divide come together to write the past, present and future of their city. Cyprus'' capital Nicosia has been split by a militarised border for decades. In this collection, writers from all sides of the divide reimagine the past, present and future of their city. Here, Cypriot-Greeks coexist alongside Cypriot-Turks, the north with the south, town with countryside, dominant voices with the marginalised. This is a city of endless possibilities - a place where an anthropologist from London and a talkative Marxist are hunted by a gunman in the Forbidden zone; where a romance between two aspiring Tango dancers falls victim to Nicosia''s time difference; and where an artist finds his workplace on a rooftop, where he paints a horizon disturbed only by birds. Together, these writers journey beyond the beaten track creating a complete picture of Nicosia, the world''s last divided capital city, that defies barriers of all kinds. |
