David Crowley reveals Warsaw's visual and urban cultural history through narrative and anecdote, examining how Warsaw has been shaped by Communist ideology since the late 1940s and then transformed by the market economy being introduced in 1989. As Crowley guides us through this damaged, yet encouraging, city we see how its citizens use and develop their living areas, yet hang on to the past by retelling the stories of myths and curses that mark the buildings.
