Presents an account of the author's childhood in Czernowitz, Ukraine. This title portrays a twilit world suspended between the dying ways of an imperial past and the terrors of the twentieth century.
The Snows of Yesteryear (1989) is Gregor von Rezzori''s haunting evocation of his childhood in Czernowitz, in present-day Ukraine. Growing up after the First World War, Rezzori portrays a twilit world suspended between the dying ways of an imperial past and the terrors of the twentieth century. He recalls his volatile, boar-hunting father, his earthy nursemaid, his fragile, aristocratic mother, his adored governess and the tragic death of his beloved sister, in a luminous story of war, unrest, eccentricity, folk tales, dark forests, night flights, and what it is like to lose your home.
