Literary Dialogues Series at Trakų Vokė Manor: On May 24 (Sunday), at 1:00 PM, Trakų Vokė Manor will host the presentation of Libertas Klimka's book "VILNIUS: A City on the Wings of Legends" (published by AKTIN, 2026). During the event, Prof. Libertas Klimka will invite you to rediscover beloved Vilnius and delve deeper into the city's spirit. The book will be available for purchase with the Author's autograph during the afternoon. ABOUT THE BOOK: Vilnius's long history, spanning over 700 years, is full of not only joyful but also tragic events. Stories about them, as well as related traditions and prominent buildings, have been told since ancient times. Over time, they gain a mythical quality, becoming legends or tales that create an aura of spirituality in the capital. The publication consists of 50 legends and tales about Vilnius. It presents authentic texts from various historiographical sources, framed by the comments and notes of Prof. Libertas Klimka – a physicist, doctor of natural sciences, ethnologist, historian of science, and pioneer of new interdisciplinary scientific fields – paleoastronomy and ethnocosmology – in Lithuania. The book aims to actualize historical memory, engaging readers of all ages who wish to feel the unique spirit of the Lithuanian capital more deeply, and for those living in the city, to strengthen their contemporary Vilnius identity.
