Lina Kostenko. Berestechko. Historical Novel

Price: Out of Stock

...Grandeur of the historical destination and the drama of the lonely human soul – these two dimensions are indissolubly linked in the novel. The hetman, revived in his new love, once again leads his insurgent army. Sovereignty of the state is born out of endured individual freedom and mature human will. The poetic novel "Berestechko" was being created at different stages of the opposition of Ukraine and its struggle for independence – starting from the mid-1960s till the end of the 1990s. The XX century recognizes itself in the XVII century. Ukraine is again forced to overcome the fatal recurrence of its problems. But the drama of the defeat turns into the philosophy of revival, catharsis, resurrection from ruins of the human and of the people. Victory over the defeat – this is the key philosophical and psychological code of this work.
