Logavina Street: Life and Death in a Sarajevo Neighborhood ebook
by John Costello,Barbara Demick
Logavina Street was a microcosm of Sarajevo, a six-block-long history lesson. I'm very pleased that Barbara Demick's "Logavina Street" got a second life after her brilliant (and brilliantly received) book on North Korea, Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea.
Logavina Street was a microcosm of Sarajevo, a six-block-long history lesson. For four centuries, it existed as a quiet residential area in a charming city long known for its ethnic and religious tolerance. On this street of 240 families. That book has been a justifiably big smash. Publisher Spiegel & Grau (a Random House imprint) was smart to go back and re-release her 1996 Sarajevo work given Demick's new, higher profile.

In her latest book, Besieged: Life Under Fire on a Sarajevo Street, she catches up with the people she befriended. At the upper end of Logavina Street, a bomb shelter was set up in a former orphanage, a place bleaker than anything imagined by Charles Dickens. The walls were a sallow, institutional green and seemed to exude a century's misery. The building was perched – haunted-house style – atop a ridge, above a weed-strewn vacant lot. On this street of 240 families, Muslims and Christians, Serbs and Croats lived easily together, unified by their common identity as Sarajevans. Then the war tore it all apart.
