Literature: history & criticism
Notre Dame d’Ukraine: Lesya Ukrainka in the Conflict of Mythologies
by Oksana Zabuzhko
Description
One of Oksana Zabuzhko's most famous books, first published in 2007 and awarded many prestigious prizes, offers the reader an impressive intellectual journey through the ages, cultures and religions in search of "Ukraine we have lost." The key to it is the myth of Lesya Ukrainka - the least read and most dramatically underestimated writer from the pantheon of our national classics. This is not only a fundamental historical and cultural work but also an exquisite philological exegesis. It is also a warning book about the Ukrainian present - about how dearly a nation pays for the loss and oblivion of centuries-old culture.
