Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In the summer of 1911, Lesya Ukrainka was living in Georgia, four hundred miles from anywhere she had ever called home, ill with the tuberculosis that would kill her two years later. In ten or twelve days she wrote a play set in a forest in Volhynia that she had not seen in years and would not see again. It became the best-loved work in Ukrainian literature.The Forest Song opens on a lake in early spring, among beings who have lived there far longer than any village: Lisovyk, the old lord of the wood; Vodyanyk in his lake; Rusalka, who kills by laughter. Mavka wakes from her winter sleep to a sound she has never heard - a young man playing a pipe. She goes to find him.What follows is not the fairy tale that setup promises. Lukash is an ordinary young man with a mother, a debt, and a field that needs cutting. Mavka comes to live in his house and is put to work. A widow from the next village arrives, capable and impatient and entirely reasonable, and the forest gives ground to the farm. The play's argument is not nature against civilisation. It is about what a person owes to the thing they have woken in someone else - and about what survives being betrayed.Ukrainka called it a drama-feieriia, a drama-fairy play: flying spirits, transformations, a house on fire, and inside all that machinery a marriage, a mother-in-law, and a death.This annotated edition is designed for readers coming to Ukrainian literature for the first time as well as for those who already know it. The Ukrainian names of the forest beings are kept rather than flattened into nymphs and goblins, and explained where they appear.It includes: - a new verse translation, in blank verse for the dialogue and rhyme where Ukrainka sings - a translator's introduction on the play, its author, and the choices behind this English text - footnotes throughout, kept light enough to read past - a substantial back commentary, scene by scene, on symbolism, folklore, and the passages where the Ukrainian will not go quietly into English - a glossary of the forest beings, with the Ukrainian terms - a pronunciation guideTranslated from the Ukrainian by Serhii Sakal, whose previous translation is Taras Shevchenko's The Artist.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Born a serf, he was freed by his talent-only to discover what freedom costs.The Artist is one of the finest prose works of Taras Shevchenko (1814-1861), the founder of modern Ukrainian literature. Written in 1856 during the author's years of exile, this semi-autobiographical novella follows a gifted young serf whose gift for painting lifts him out of bondage and into the world of the Imperial Academy of Arts in Saint Petersburg. Narrated with warmth, irony, and deep feeling, it traces his education, friendships, and artistic awakening against the backdrop of imperial Russian society-and the fragile hope that art might redeem a life shaped by servitude.Drawing on Shevchenko's own passage from serfdom to freedom, The Artist is at once a vivid portrait of nineteenth-century artistic life and a meditation on talent, dignity, and the cost of creative ambition. This new English translation preserves the author's distinctive voice and rich period detail, making a classic of Ukrainian literature accessible to contemporary readers.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - When Time Was Made Livable is a reflective exploration of Slavic seasonal rituals and the human needs they once served.Before calendars and clocks governed daily life, time was experienced through cycles of labor, scarcity, growth, danger, and rest. Communities marked these pressures with recurring rituals-not as decoration, but as practical tools for endurance. These observances shaped when people paused, released tension, guarded what they had built, remembered the dead, and prepared for what came next.Rather than cataloging holidays or reconstructing historical ceremonies, this book follows a seasonal structure-winter through autumn, silence through memory-to examine what these traditions did. Each chapter centers a shared human problem: surviving darkness, inviting renewal cautiously, containing excess, protecting abundance, accounting for what remains, and closing the year without collapse.Drawing from East Slavic, Central European, and Balkan traditions, the book traces how older ritual patterns persisted even as Christian language layered over them. Fire became cleansing. Water became blessing. The cycle remained.Written in quiet, grounded prose, When Time Was Made Livable is not a guide to modern observance and does not ask for a return to the past. It asks a simpler question: why did people need these rituals, and why do versions of them still echo in contemporary life This book is for readers interested in folklore, cultural history, seasonal living, and the psychology of ritual-especially those drawn to thoughtful, slow, human-scaled nonfiction.…
