Short stories2021Sweets for the Medor
by Andriy Bondar
Sweets for the Medor is a collection of essays by Andriy Bondar written between 2017 and 2020. Essay writing here is a way to explore and rethink the world through one’s system of values and experience. Honesty here is intertwined with intellectual reflection. Deeper meanings and sometimes unexpected conclusions hide behind the form of short prose. Voids can be filled, and the definition of "falling from the height of one's own body" can refer not only to bodily injury, but also to a moral fall, which always occurs from the height of one's own ethical structures, and losses can later turn into gains, you just need to look at them from a different angle.

Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)2018Cerebro
by Andriy Bondar
Cerebro, a new collection of short prose by Andrii Bodnar, introduces readers to the strange world of small human adventures. Random meetings and everyday situations that can happen to anyone start you thinking, making decisions and acting. It is a peculiarity of these texts that some of them are copied from real life experience, while others, completely fictitious, are macabre and phantasmagorical. The collection is compiled to start with completely realistic texts, but with each subsequent text this realism is extinguishing or gains new features. There are biographical texts, and then the usual reality departs and the reality of parable appears. The book is a path from realism to phantasmagoria and the sphere of magic. Compositionally it is a path from the real to the unreal world, culminating in a parable about what awaits us at the end of life.

True stories2021My Journey to the Land of Marines
by Andriy Zelinskyi
My Journey to the Land of the Marines is the diary of a chaplain and a Marine. During the war in the East of Ukraine, Father Andriy Zelinskyi was side by side with the soldiers, shared with them their anxiety and unrest, supported, gave last rites to his comrades-in-arms, looked into the eyes of death, and appreciated every new day. This book is about how important it is to strive for victory and understand that the most important victory is over oneself; about how important it is to dream, not to give up, and to believe in the insurmountable power of the good.

Adventure2018The Wall
by Andriy Tsaplienko
In the fantastic novel by Andriy Tsaplienko, the reader faces two post-apocalyptic societies where one confidently paves the way for progressive development, and the other degrades. The author is convinced that mentality and everlasting traditions change very little over the centuries. The novel heroes, Ukrainians, and Russians, who bear bright national traits, are in constant tense antagonism. Their war goes on at several levels — from armed conflicts to clashes of souls and inner convictions. And the Wild Fields that remain after big and small confrontations are like unhealed wounds, cancer tumors: they continue to bleed, demonstrating to humanity that war produces only the war.

The Arts2019Volunteers. Age of Heroes
by Andrii Kotliarchuk
Andrii Kotliarchuk's war history photo project tells the story of the ongoing war in the East of Ukraine and is dedicated to volunteers and anti-terrorist operation veterans. The project unfolded between 2014 and 2018 and the photographs were taken at the ground-zero frontline. The album includes non-random photographs taken in the square frame on black-and-white wide film. The photographer travelled hundreds of kilometres along the contact line, took hundreds of thoughtful shots, and made hundreds of portraits of servicemen before and after battles. The photographs are accompanied by the opinions of contemporaries of the events, their recollections, and observations. The photo project is not accidental, it was thoroughly planned by the author from the very beginning. The first part of the photo project was exhibited in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, as well as demonstrated in museums all over the country. It was also shown at the National Art Museum of Georgia. The publication reproduces a large array of photos through which we can see how the strength of the Ukrainian army was gradually revived. The pictures were shot in the same style and this artistic approach brings up associations with the battle-scene paintings of the past. The book also includes many images of genre scenes, landscapes and still lifes. Is it possible to find aesthetics in a war? Should the photography depict the heart-breaking moments of military confrontation? Is it possible to combine documentary photography with artistic vision? Andrii Kotliarchuk's project "Volunteers. Age of Heroes" is an attempt to answer these questions.

Prose: non-fiction2021WHY THE FRENCH ARE NOT GETTING FAT
by Andrii Aliokhin
Hello, I am Andrii Aliokhin. I have been an actor and a writer for many years living in two capitals: Kyiv and Paris. I was neither a tourist nor an immigrant. This allowed me to see our life and French life from a unique point of view. This book tells a story about what I had learned in France. Not from professional chefs or subtle connoisseurs of culinary delights, but from ordinary French men and women, who cook and eat in France. Real people who love, work, grieve, celebrate, raise children, walk dogs, and go to market in the course of their daily lives. So, you will find here my little stories about the French – memoirs and other nonsense, that actually is called life. In some way it is also a cookbook. Everything collected here are ordinary, simple, French recipes. All ingredients can be easily found on the shelvesof our stores. But this is not just a book about the kitchen. It’s about what I finally realized. I realized why the French are not getting fat. The book by Andre Aliokhin – the most famous and popular Ukrainian blogger. It’s bestseller in Ukraine. The German translation will be published soon.

Humanities & Social Sciences2020Bridges Instead of Walls, or What Unites Ukrainians?
by Tetiana Teren
In this collection of essays, twenty Ukrainian intellectuals reflect on the phenomenon of social bridges and walls. Why do they both exist? Do bridges always bring understanding? Or do they perhaps sometimes allow crossing boundaries? Do walls necessarily separate? Or do they occasionally protect? With whom and how should we build bridges, and from whom shall we isolate by walls? The result of the media project of the Ukrainian branch of the International PEN Club, published in the New Time publication, is now under one cover. On the pages of the book, you will find essays by the following authors: Kateryna Kalytko, Kateryna Botanova, Vakhtang Kebuladze, Zoya Kazanzhy, Ostap Slyvinskyi, Olena Stiazhkina, Larysa Denysenko, Myroslava Barchuk, Viktoriya Amelina, Vitaliy Ponomariov, Vasyl Makhno, Volodymyr Rafeenko, Mykola Riabchuk, Volodymyr Yermolenko, Svitlana Pyrkalo, Borys Gudziak, Ihor Isichenko, Halyna Vdovychenko, Pavlo Kazarin, Vitaliy Portnykov.

by Andrii Sodomora
Book "What to write about" is like a specific "visual adaptation" of alive figurative thoughts in their origin about different things, inspired by the moment - from the fleeting movements of a human soul in the world, or microworld, to the macrocosm landscapes. The echo of the European, especially antique, literature, the style of writing, which is close to spoken language, makes the book a vivid illustration of the key antique phrase - "Vivere est cogitare" or "To live is to think".
