Description

 							
  
   
  From the critically acclaimed author of The 25th Hour, a captivating novel about war, courage,
survival — and a remarkable friendship that ripples across a lifetime.
  
  During the Nazis’
brutal siege of Leningrad, Lev Beniov is arrested for looting and thrown into the same cell as a handsome deserter named
Kolya. Instead of being executed, Lev and Kolya are given a shot at saving their own lives by complying with an
outrageous directive: secure a dozen eggs for a powerful Soviet colonel to use in his daughter’s wedding cake. In
a city cut off from all supplies and suffering unbelievable deprivation, Lev and Kolya embark on a hunt through the dire
lawlessness of Leningrad and behind enemy lines to find the impossible.
  
  By turns insightful and funny,
thrilling and terrifying, City of Thieves is a gripping, cinematic World War II adventure and an intimate coming-of-age
story with an utterly contemporary feel for how boys become men.
  
  From Publishers Weekly
  
 
Starred Review. Author and screenwriter Benioff follows up The 25th Hour with this hard-to-put-down novel based on his
grandfather's stories about surviving WWII in Russia. Having elected to stay in Leningrad during the siege, 17-year-old
Lev Beniov is caught looting a German paratrooper's corpse. The penalty for this infraction (and many others) is
execution. But when Colonel Grechko confronts Lev and Kolya, a Russian army deserter also facing execution, he spares
them on the condition that they acquire a dozen eggs for the colonel's daughter's wedding cake. Their mission exposes
them to the most ghoulish acts of the starved populace and takes them behind enemy lines to the Russian countryside.
There, Lev and Kolya take on an even more daring objective: to kill the commander of the local occupying German forces.
A wry and sympathetic observer of the devastation around him, Lev is an engaging and self-deprecating narrator who finds
unexpected reserves of courage at the crucial moment and forms an unlikely friendship with Kolya, a flamboyant ladies'
man who is coolly reckless in the face of danger. Benioff blends tense adventure, a bittersweet coming-of-age and an
oddly touching buddy narrative to craft a smart crowd-pleaser. (May)

  From The New Yorker
  
  In the six years
since his critically praised début, "The 25th Hour," Benioff has produced a story collection and a handful of
screenplays, including the blockbuster "Troy." The imprint of his film work is evident in this novel, a finely honed but
too easily sentimental adventure story set during the siege of Leningrad. Lev, the mousy, virginal son of a disappeared
Jewish poet, is jailed by the Russian Army for looting; in prison and awaiting execution, he shares a cell with a
blowhard blond infantryman accused of desertion. When a strange colonel offers the pair an impossible task in exchange
for their lives, they set off on a journey that takes them through a series of nightmarish war zones, populated by
cannibals, prostitutes, starving children, and demonic Nazi chess enthusiasts. Benioff finds a good deal of humor amid
the grisly absurdities of wartime, but does so at the expense of real emotional engagement.
