Humanities & Social Sciences2021WHO WE ARE: Indigenous Peoples and National Minorities of Ukraine
by Bogdan Logvynenko (idea), Daria Titarova (editor)
Who are we? This is the question that the Ukraїner team has been working on every day for over five years. We tell stories from different parts of Ukraine, and in this way we seek the answer. This book has grown out of a great desire to explore and tell about the people in Ukraine. First of all, it is about the indigenous peoples here, because since July 2021, in addition to Ukrainians, this list has officially included the Crimean Tatars, Krymchaks and Karaites. And also it is about a whole range of national minorities whose representatives appeared on our lands for one reason or another. After all, the history of each people living in the territory of Ukraine is a part of our common history, as ancient and rooted as the formation of the Crimean Tatar people in Crimea and nearby steppe of Prychornomoria, or as fresh as the newly Indian student community in Zakarpattia. With the story of the latter, in 2017 Ukraїner began a series of more than 30 multimedia stories about national minorities of Ukraine, fragments of which became the basis for this book. Most stories are accompanied by QR codes with links, which you can follow to watch the stories. We also set out to tell about the diversity of cultures and thereby answer the question: what are we? The deeper we researched the traditional holidays, cuisine, and symbols of each separate people, the more we found in common.

Travel & Transport2022Ukraїner. Ukrainian Insider 2
by Bogdan Logvynenko (idea), Daria Titarova, Kseniya Chykunova (texts)
Our team continues to study Ukraine, the results of which we share with you. This book is a story of the Ukrainian land, told by the Ukrainian people and filmed by the Ukraїner team. It was not enough to travel around all regions of Ukraine just one time to get to know it. Therefore, during 2019-2021, we drove the second expedition circle and brought even more stories about our incredible country and its inhabitants. Like all Ukraїner materials, these are stories of real people and the places they take care of, with dialogues and without directing. Traveling around the country, we want to capture it for every Ukrainian and for the whole world. And with the beginning of the annexation war started by Russia, this book has another important goal: to show Ukraine as it was before February 24, to keep it in our memory so that after the victory it could be rebuilt, and made even better.

by Bogdan Logvynenko (idea), Volodymyr Gavrysh (design)
Over several years of expeditions, the Ukraїner team took thousands of photos of Ukraine from a drone.

With the help of these images, we aim to share the beauty of Ukraine with the world. This photo book shows Ukraine from a bird's eye view. Fields, forests, coasts, snow-capped mountains, patterns of city streets – all these shots show amazing diversity and cause aesthetic awe. Despite the fact that enemy shells are still flying in the Ukrainian sky, we are already trying to make the whole world fall in love with it. The book is published only in English and is called “Ukraine from above”.

September 2016So glücklich wir waren
Roman
by Daria Bignardi
Mit ihren Erinnerungen an die unbeschwerten Tage der Jugend und ihrer Leidenschaft für klassische Literatur lebt Alma lieber in der Vergangenheit als in der Gegenwart. Als ihre Tochter Antonia schwanger ist, weiht sie sie ein in ein wohl gehütetes Familiengeheimnis: das spurlose Verschwinden ihres Bruders. Antonia beschließt, nach Ferrara zu reisen und sich auf eine Suche zu machen, für die ihre Mutter nie genug Kraft hatte. Doch bei ihren Streifzügen durch die mysteriös anmutende Stadt, die mit ihren mittelalterlichen Gemäuern und den schmalen Gassen die perfekte Kulisse für Heimlichkeiten und Gerüchte bietet, kommt Antonia nicht nur der Geschichte ihrer verschlossenen Mutter und dem Verschwinden ihres Onkels auf die Spur, sondern enthüllt auch eine familiäre Tragödie, die sehr viel weiter reicht, als sie jemals hätte ahnen können. So glücklich wir waren erzählt ebenso fesselnd wie ergreifend von lebenslanger Reue und der fragilen Nähe zwischen Müttern und Töchtern. In ihrem aufwühlenden Roman stellt Daria Bignardi die alles entscheidende Frage, wie genau wir die Menschen kennen, die uns am nächsten stehen.

September 2017Der Pfau
Roman
by Isabel Bogdan
Ein charmant heruntergekommener Landsitz in den schottischen Highlands, ein völlig durchgedrehter Pfau, der bei blau nur noch rotsieht, und ein bunt zusammengewürfelter Haufen Leute, dazu ein überraschender Wintereinbruch, ein Kurzschluss und die ein oder andere Verwechslung – und schon ist das Chaos perfekt! Pointenreich, very british und urkomisch erzählt Isabel Bogdan von einem Wochenende, an dem alles anders kommt als geplant: Eine Gruppe Investmentbanker reist samt ambitionierter Psychologin und erfindungsreicher Köchin aus London an, um in der ländlichen Abgeschiedenheit bei einer Teambildungsmaßnahme die Zusammenarbeit zu verbessern. Doch das spartanische Ambiente und ein verrückt gewordener Pfau bringen sie dabei gehörig aus dem Konzept. Und nicht nur sie: Denn die pragmatische Problemlösung des Hausherrn Lord McIntosh setzt ein Geschehen in Gang, das sämtliche Beteiligte an die Grenzen ihrer nervlichen Belastbarkeit bringt. So britisch-unterhaltsam ist in deutscher Sprache noch nicht erzählt worden!

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2025Out of the depths
The first collection of Holocaust songs
by Joseph Toltz, Anna Boucher
Available for the first time in English translation, this collection of songs is a powerful memorial to the victims of the Holocaust. In June 1945, before the full devastation of the Holocaust had emerged, a team of researchers embarked on a remarkable project. While documenting the experiences of Jewish refugees, they began to collect songs composed and sung in the Nazi camps and ghettos. The resulting book, Mima'amakim (Out of the depths), was published in a short run of 500 copies. Today, only a handful survive. Out of the depths: The first collection of Holocaust songs presents the contents of this extraordinary document for a new generation of readers. Based on a copy of Mima'amakim discovered in 2013, it contains not only the songs' melodies and lyrics, the latter in a new translation by Joseph Toltz, but also short biographies of the composers, drawn from painstaking original research. Introductory essays provide historical and musicological background, deepening our knowledge of this terrible event and the creative means by which the Jewish people responded to and endured it. Described by the original editor, Yehuda Eismann, as a 'memorial stone for Polish Jewry', the songbook is a timeless document of a people's despair, hope and strength.

The Arts2021Ukrainian Artistic Avant-Garde: Manifestos, Essays, Talks, Memoirs, Letters
by Dmytro Horbachov (editor)
The publication is an anthology of rear and previously unpublished texts written by thirty-four representatives of the Ukrainian avant-garde: artists who act as critics and scientists; art critics acting as analysts and conceptualists; poets and writers who act as creators and analysts of contemporary artistic forms. The reader receives a thematic, personal, and philosophical variety of views on the creative "systematisation" of the artistic form in Ukrainian visual art of the 1910s-1930s. The reader is put amidst the creative disputes, the struggle of ambitions and the agreements on methodologies, a kaleidoscope of multidirectional search for artistic truth and seclusion in the social inevitability of historical events The genre of the texts vary. From a didactic nature of journalistic essays to the sharpness of manifestos and sometimes angry desperation of discussions — forms a stereoscopic sketch of trends and groups of that time in all the complexity, inconsistency, and therefore poignancy of the proclaimed positions.
