Förlagets information
The Soul of War follows therapist and peace worker Ivona Olofsson from her post-war Polish roots into present-day Ukraine, where she bears witness to life in the shadow of conflict. Through encounters with children, soldiers, and survivors, she weaves a poetic yet unflinching testimony to courage, loss, and the enduring power of hope.
A poetic and unflinching journey into the heart of war – and the resilience that keeps us human.
The Soul of War is a profoundly moving account of the human face of conflict, told through the eyes of Ivona Olofsson – therapist, peace worker, and fellow human being. With roots in post-war Poland and a life shaped by the legacy of war, she travels to Ukraine in the midst of an unfolding conflict.
On train platforms, in refugee camps, hospitals, and among ruins, she meets children, soldiers, mothers, and medics. They share stories that redefine courage, endurance, and what it means to remain human. Interwoven with her own memories, these voices form a narrative where the personal and the universal meet.
The book is as much a testimony as it is an inward journey – about the invisible scars carried by both individuals and communities, about how history continues to echo within us, and about the will to stand for something greater than ourselves.
With language that is both poetic and unflinching, The Soul of War captures moments of pain and beauty in a world torn by conflict. It is a powerful contribution to understanding the impact of war and the enduring human capacity for hope.
