The Lands Between: A Professor's 12-Year Journey Through Central Europe's Chaos | Book Launch

Join us for this captivating book launch and reading at the AAU Library, featuring Professor Andrew Giarelli and his latest work "The Lands Between." In this recorded event, Prague-based author and AAU senior lecturer Andrew Giarelli shares his personal journey through Central Eastern Europe, spanning over a dozen years of transformative history. From Prague and Vienna to the Austrian-Slovenian border, Giarelli chronicles major events including the 2015-16 Near Eastern immigration crisis, COVID's impact from Prague to Trieste, and Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine with its resulting refugee crisis. Professor Giarelli brings unique insight as both an author and journalist whose Ukraine-related reporting has appeared in U.S., Czech, Slovak, and Moldovan media. His book explores not just the recent upheavals, but the deep historical layers of this region shaped by Roman, Magyar, and Habsburg empires. As Ben Yagoda notes: "The best kind of guide—mordant, observant, funny, empathetic, and idiosyncratic—he takes us along on his journeys of over a dozen years, starting in a sort of Wild West post-Soviet era, and ending, as he writes, when 'plague descended, followed by war.'" Whether you're interested in Central European history, contemporary geopolitics, or travel writing, this book launch offers fascinating insights into a region at the crossroads of major historical forces. #BookLaunch #CentralEurope #Prague #Ukraine #TravelWriting #History #AAU Explore Anglo-American University: 🚀 Next Steps Apply Now: https://www.aauni.edu/apply Schedule a Campus Visit: https://www.aauni.edu/admissions/meet...
