        Nein, ich bin nicht müde! / Ja, ich will ins Bett!

        by Oksana Bula, Oksana Bula, Thomas Weiler

        Oksana Bulas "Nein, ich bin nicht müde! / Ja, ich will ins Bett!" ist ein innovatives Wende-Bilderbuch, das Kindern ab 3 Jahren auf unterhaltsame Weise das Thema Einschlafen näherbringt. Das Buch erzählt zwei charmante Geschichten aus dem Wald: Auf der einen Seite erfahren wir vom Bären, der den Winter erleben möchte und sich gegen den Winterschlaf wehrt, bis ihn die Müdigkeit doch einholt. Auf der anderen Seite begleiten wir den Wisent, der sich nichts sehnlicher wünscht, als die kalte Jahreszeit verschlafen zu können, obwohl seine Art keinen Winterschlaf hält. Durch die entgegengesetzten Perspektiven auf das Thema Schlaf und Ruhe regt das Buch zum Nachdenken und Diskutieren an. Illustriert mit traumhaft gezeichneten Szenen aus Wald und Natur, bietet dieses Werk der ukrainischen Illustratorin Oksana Bula nicht nur eine visuelle Bereicherung, sondern auch eine spielerische Herangehensweise an die Schlafenszeit, die Kinder und Eltern gleichermaßen anspricht. Innovatives Wende-Bilderbuch: Zwei Geschichten in einem Buch bieten doppelten Lesespaß und Abwechslung zur Schlafenszeit. Erziehungsthema Schlafen: Behandelt auf spielerische Weise Herausforderungen und Freuden rund um das Thema Einschlafen und bietet so einen idealen Anknüpfungspunkt für Eltern, um mit ihren Kindern über die Bedeutung von Ruhe und Schlaf zu sprechen. Faszinierende Tiercharaktere: Die Geschichten von Bär und Wisent laden mit ihren gegensätzlichen Wünschen und Erlebnissen zum Vergleich und zur Diskussion ein, wodurch Empathie und Verständnis bei jungen Zuhörern gefördert werden. Traumhafte Illustrationen: Die detailreichen und warmen Illustrationen laden zum Entdecken ein und machen das Buch zu einem visuellen Erlebnis. Vielfältige Einsatzmöglichkeiten: Eignet sich hervorragend zum Vorlesen, als Gute-Nacht-Geschichte und für Leseanfänger zur Förderung der Lesekompetenz. Diskussions- und Lernpotential: Bietet zahlreiche Gesprächsanlässe über Themen wie Zufriedenheit, das Streben nach Unmöglichem und gegenseitige Unterstützung.

        The Wormwood. Selected essays

        by Oksana Zabuzhko

        This volume contains the most important essays by Oksana Zabuzhko written in the last two decades, devoted to figures and events that the author considers culturally significant for today's era of the crisis of humanism. "Feminine", "masculine" and "collective", all these "portraits" are united by the author's deeply personal experience of ongoing history in which she inscribes her characters — and thus reveals in it what, at least, seems to be catastrophic, a previously invisible life-affirming meaning.

        Fieldwork in Ukrainian Sex

        by Oksana Zabuzhko

        Called “the most influential Ukrainian book since independence,” Oksana Zabuzhko’s Fieldwork in Ukrainian Sex became an international phenomenon when it shot to number one on the Ukrainian bestseller list and remained there throughout the 1990s. The sexual odyssey of the artist and poetess, unfolding in Ukraine and America at the end of the 20th century, turns into a true medieval mystery in which the heroine goes through the circles of recent Ukrainian history to meet the Devil face to face.

        Notre Dame d’Ukraine: Lesya Ukrainka in the Conflict of Mythologies

        by Oksana Zabuzhko

        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.

        How the Cherry Orchard Was Cut Down, or the Long Road from Bad Ems

        by Oksana Zabuzhko

        This book commemorates Oksana Miyakovska-Radysh (1919–2020), a long-term archivist of the Ukrainian Free Academy of Sciences (UVAN) in New York. Her greatness lies in serving her cause with absolute freedom from complexes imposed by Russia and its culture. Reading this book is like flipping through an old family album in Miyakovska-Radysh's company. The book reveals numerous secrets. It turns out that Chekhov's Three Sisters were not just a figment of the writer's imagination. Moreover, Chekhov himself was a young man from then Ukrainian Taganrog, fond of his native Ukrainian language, theatre and one of the three sisters. The book also explores the connection between the "new woman" in Russian literature and the 19th-century Ukrainian women's movement and looks into the past mistakes that still have repercussions for Ukrainians today.

        Survival as Victory: Ukrainian Women in the Gulag

        by Oksana Kis

        Of the hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian women were sentenced to the Gulag in the 1940s and 1950s, only half survived. In Survival as Victory, Oksana Kis has produced the first anthropological study of daily life in the Soviet forced labor camps as experienced by Ukrainian women prisoners. Based on the written memoirs, autobiographies, and oral histories of over 150 survivors, this book fills a lacuna in the scholarship regarding Ukrainian experience. Kis details the women’s resistance to the brutality of camp conditions not only through the preservation of customs and traditions from everyday home life, but also through the frequent elision of regional and confessional differences. Following the groundbreaking work of Anne Applebaum’s Gulag: A History (2003), this book is a must-read for anyone interested in gendered strategies of survival, accommodation, and resistance to the dehumanizing effects of the Gulag.

        The Apocrypha. Four Conversations About Lesya Ukrainka

        by Oksana Zabuzhko, His Beatitude Sviatoslav Shevchuk

        This book was published to commemorate 150 years from the birth of the classic Ukrainian author Lesya Ukrainka. It is based on transcripts of conversations between Oksana Zabuzhko and His Beatitude Svyatoslav Shevchuk, the head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. The works of Lesya Ukrainka, included in the second part of the book, are the main topic of their conversation, namely how the stories from evangelical and early Christian history formed the basis of her later work. Ukrainka's work was praised by the Soviet authorities for its socalled atheism but was censored from being staged in the theatres. Ukrainka's spiritual journey during the last twelve years of her life, her interpretation of the images of Judas and Christ, the cult of martyrdom, and the female role in the Christian context are thoroughly analysed in Zabuzhko and Shevchuk's conversations. Zabuzhko built a dialogue between Christianity, and what Soviet and post-Soviet critics called atheism that was in reality a conflict with synodal Orthodoxy.

        Behind the Scenes of the Empire: Essays on Cultural Relationships between Ukraine and Russia

        by Vira Ageyeva

        Much has already been written about Ukrainian-Russian relations in the context of Russian interests and priorities. Russia unceremoniously ennobled its history with other people's achievements while depriving Ukrainians of their past. From the Ukrainian's perspective, the story is completely different. For centuries Ukrainian literature has been involved in the anti-colonial discourse. From Kotlyarevsky, Kvitka-Osnovianenko, Kharkiv romantics to the era of modernism and eventually the emergence of contemporary Ukraine, it offered various models of identity, denying imperial claims and asserting its own cultural sufficiency. In this book, the authoritative literary critic Vira Ageyeva analyses the Ukrainian resistance to imperialism and the struggle of Ukraine for the preservation of it's collective memory through the prism of the cultural process.

        Zero Point Ukraine

        by Olena Stiazhkina

        The Western understanding of what happened in Ukraine during World War II has been shaped by historical and ideological narratives created by the Kremlin. The Ukrainian version of the story has been dissolved in the concept of the “great victorious Russian people” and distorted by attempts to equate Ukrainian national army to German Nazis, while the occupation and colonisation of Ukraine by Russian Bolsheviks in the 1920s and 1930s has widely been ignored or artificially silenced. In her Four Essays on World War II, Olena Stiazhkina inscribes the Ukrainian history of the war into a wider European and world context. Amongst other aspects, she analyzes the mobilization measures on the eve of the war, thus questioning Soviet narratives. Scrutinising the social and political processes initiated by the Bolshevik leadership in the 1920s and 1930s, Stiazhkina concludes that mobilisation and militarisation were integral parts of Soviet power policy. The Soviet and contemporary Russian narratives about World War II have been used to justify the Kremlin’s policies towards democratic countries. Today, Russia remains deeply engaged in the falsification of the past, which underpins the claims of the so-called “Russian World” and the ongoing war against Ukraine. Olena Stiazhkina’s book promotes a new, historically adequate understanding of what happened in Ukraine before, during, and after World War II.
