        Disorientation on the terrain

        by Yurii Andrukhovych

        These are attempts to look into the coexistence of cultural spaces: the metaphysics of landscapes; a man on his way; Central Europe as unity and uniqueness; the post-imperial search for identity. Three sections - "Introduction to geography", "Park of culture" and "About the time and method" - offer three different dimensions of the outlined problem - cultural, historical, and mytho-poetic and individual-existential."

        Bridges 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.

        A terribly rowdy book

        Terribly funny horrors!

        by Vitalii Kyrychenko, Yurii Nikitinskyi

        «A Terribly Rowdy Book» is totally unusual. It is written to be terribly rowdy, ironic, absurd, horrible, frightful and funny at the same time. The title is made as a parody of horror, slasher and mystery stories. The authors’ inspiration comes from scary-like nursery rhymes, Absurdist humor of Daniil Kharms as well as Scary Movie. If you are afraid to smile at scary things and forgot the times when you were kids, don’t read it at all. But if you happened to have bought this title, read it either under your blanket, in the bathroom or in the blackest corner. And in no case should you give it to your kids because you are good parents and not some we-don’t-know-who.
