The Witches of Kyiv
Author: Orest Somov
Publisher: Sova Books
ISBN: 0987594397
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 94
Book Description
In The Witches of Kyiv and Other Gothic Tales by Orest Somov the supernatural is present throughout Ukraine, from a cemetery in Kyivan Rus, to an isolated forest cottage in the seventeenth century Kozak era, to the society ballrooms of Somov’s own world – the early nineteenth century. Gothic horror appears in many guises including witches, warlocks, demons and vengeful ‘rusalka’. Strange soothsayers and malevolent visitors represent the forces of good and evil. In her foreword Dr Svitlana Krys describes Somov “as an initiator of an indigenous literary tradition of the Gothic in the Ukrainian literary canon”. Native folk traditions, ghost stories and European Romanticism are twisted together in Somov’s imaginative tales, most of which are published here in English for the first time.

Ukraine
Author: Marta Dyczok
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134432690
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
Ukraine has surprised many international observers. Few anticipated its declaration of independence in 1991 or its determination to move out of Russia's shadow. Dyczok redresses the continuing dearth of information on the country. Aimed at nonspecialists and specialists alike, it presents an overview of the main government policies, and the social and cultural issues facing the new state. These are placed within their historical, regional and global framework. In contrast with the generally bleak picture that international media reports present, the book suggests that Ukraine has actually accomplished a great deal in a short time. In seven years, from 1991 to 1998, Ukraine went from being a little-known nation within a non-democratic state to an internationally recognized independent country. During this period of change, it contributed to the geopolitical shift which occurred with the implosion of the Soviet Union. As such, it may be argued, Ukraine has a role to play in the search for the new international order.

Book Description
La publication des actes du colloque qui s'est tenu à Lyon en juin 2015 met en lumière la montée en puissance de mouvements indépendantistes et de revendications identitaires dans différentes régions du monde globalisé contemporain. En prenant comme point de départ le référendum écossais de 2014, les discussions ont abordé plusieurs versants du séparatisme catalan, le référendum pour l'autodétermination en Crimée, les revendications identitaires en Nouvelle Zélande ainsi que les efforts pour arriver aux accords de paix en Irlande du Nord. D'autre part, il est intéressant de constater la perte de vitesse des certaines minorités linguistiques en France ou le cas de minorités russophones dans les pays baltes. Finalement, cet ouvrage pose les questions de l'identité nationale, des fondements culturels, linguistiques, historiques ou économiques des nationalismes du XXIe siècle.

I Will Show You How It Was
Author: Illia Ponomarenko
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1639733884
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
"A story of searing clarity from Ukraine's frontlines of an unfathomably resilient, freedom loving people who refuse to bend to Putin's assault on truth and human life."-Nicole Perlroth “Destined to become a classic of modern war reporting.”-Luke Harding A raw, irreverent account of a young Ukrainian reporter on-the-ground as his country heroically defends itself against the Russian invasion. In late February 2022, a series of missiles and rocket strikes began falling upon Ukraine, as the Russian military barreled over the border and fanned out across the country. First they took Chernobyl, then Kherson, then Mariupol. Time stood still as the world waited for Ukraine to flatten underneath the boot of its neighbor. Meanwhile, on the front lines in the capital city, Kyiv Independent reporter Illia Ponomarenko was seeing a different story on unfold: after months-years-of waiting for this long-feared attack, Ukraine was fed up and ready to fight back. The Russians bogged down hard in combat east and west of Kyiv. They got exhausted. They screwed up logistics. They sustained heavy losses. Their unbelievably overconfident blitz was failing. I Will Show You How It Was is Illia Ponomarenko's heart-wrenching memoir of the war on his homeland, offering a fiery diatribe against Russian hypocrisy and a moving look at what is being lost. But it's also a story of pride and even elation as Ukrainian forces come together, find their mojo, and oust the invaders from Kyiv. The most powerful and personal chronicle of the war to date, I Will Show You How It Was is an exceptional literary achievement, chronicling a stunning feat of resistance and a courageous people set on a miraculous victory.
