This cheerful and witty book tells the story of the amazing friendship between the boy Severin and a giant goat, who, perhaps unfairly, was called the Аngry Goat. When Severin came to his grandmother's village for the summer, Goat tried to ram him. But then - quite unexpectedly - he became the boy's best friend. Now Severin is not afraid of Goat anymore. Severin gives to Goat the most delicious carrots from his grandmother's garden, and bends the branches of a maple tree for him, because his new friend likes new leaves so much! In return, Goat pushes Severin and his friend on the swing, and makes them laugh with his antics. And one day he even saved a bird that fell out of the nest... Together with Severin, little readers will learn step by step the secrets of a world that opens up to you if you are not afraid to go outside of Grandma's gate for the first time!

It’s possible not to know what a “mondegreen” is, but it’s unlikely that one can completely defend against it. He who is blessed to live is also doomed to make mistakes. For example, to perceive select sayings in a distorted manner, and consequently - to misinterpret them, sometimes to absurdity. But is it possible, having moved as an adult from the Russian-speaking Donetsk to the hardly Ukrainian-speaking Kyiv, to quickly learn the Ukrainian language? Yes, possible. What’s more: one can even be someone like Volodymyr Rafeyenko, a Russian-speaking writer of significant age and renown, and then, having ended up in Kyiv, master Ukrainian to such a degree so as to write an amazing novel in it. In particular, a novel about the immersion of a Russian-speaking migrant into the joyous and sorrowful element of the Ukrainian language. And also, a novel about his not wanting to remain a passive object of Russia’s “protection”. But above all, it’s a novel about how poorly the different parts of our multilingual Ukraine heard each other, thus turning one another into an utter “mondegreen”. Is there still a chance to solve this misunderstanding? Unknown. But first we have to try, at the very least, to listen carefully to one another: maybe then we’ll manage to decipher all this distorted noise.

The unknown and classified KGB history of the largest country in Europe - Ukraine is the history of people, events, documents and files. The files have answers to many questions. The most important of which - why did a war begin again in Europe? Why is it so important for Russia to conquer Ukraine? Why are Ukrainians putting up such a powerful resistance? Historian Volodymyr Viatrovych, who declassified the secret archives of the Soviet special services from the Cheka to the KGB, talks about the history of Ukraine, the USSR and Eastern Europe from 1918 to 1991. The reader, is offered, along with various heroes and traitors, those who thought they were in control of events, and those who thought they had no power over them, to recreate the nearly century-old chess game between the Ukrainian liberation movement and the creators of the "prison of nations." Described in reports and recreated by a historian, this work looks at the cunning “special operations”, deadly moves, information wars and complex games among several players that are all an attempt to find an answer to the question: what creates our destiny - human will or circumstances?

"It is our time that will decide the future of countries and dynasties to come" said the Cardinal Mazarini's spy to the young nobleman named Pavel Moshkovsky, who will later become the ruler of Ukraine under title of Hetman Teteria. And he was right - the middle of the XVII century started a New Age of European history and drew the apocalyptic outlines of the world in the twilight of which we now live. The dark silhouette of the Biblical figure from the Book of Genesis, who was the firstborn child of Adam and Eve and committed a great sin of killing thy own brother overshadows the last four centuries of the world’s history. Volodymyr Eshkilev dives deep into the secrets of the castles and their rulers in his historical novel "Cain", the second of the trilogy "Cursed Hetmans". The reader will recognise the characters from the author’s previous novel called “Union” and will meet many new historical figures who lived and work during the period called “Ruin”. During the “Ruin” the hetmanate of Teteria, one of the most stipulated and disgraced rulers of Ukraine, held power. Eshkilev offers his own unique and unexpected interpretation of this historical figure. The events of the novel take place in beautiful and artistic surroundings and reflect on political, diplomatic, and even occult affairs of the XVII century.

The new book by the well-known Ukrainian historian, chief of the Department of history of National University of Kyiv Mohyla Academy, professor Natalia Yakovenko, despite being a university textbook and a propaedeutic course on a professional subject, is written in a simple and easy to read manner which is far from academic cliché and embodies high academic style in its best meaning. However, the word 'textbook' even in its most positive meaning applies to this book only as a kind of mask that hides much more complex structure, not only stylistically but by its content and pragmatism as well. As the professor herself admits, this book does not belong to any classic genres. This is not a history of historiography, not a methodology of history and this is not an introduction to history as well.
