        The mace of Illya Muromets

        Without faith, life is devoid of a miracle, without a miracle you cannot accomplish a feat.

        by Yriy Ligun

        In the ancient caves near Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, the relics of the legendary hero of Kyiv, Ilya Muromets, lies. This is a shrine of the Ukrainian Church. The monks speak, the relics give strength to everyone who comes to them. We know about the greatness of the hero from ancient legends. The modern story reproduces the life of people in the period of the 11th century on the lands now occupied by modern Ukraine, and tells about the military exploits of Ilya Muromets. This great warrior had great power and never used it for aggressive campaigns and personal enrichment. When Ilya felt that he was getting old, he came to the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, plunging into a lonely prayer not only for his homeland, but also for the souls of the enemies he has had to kill. Vivid, characteristic illustrations of Oleksandr Prodan for this novel help to feel the atmosphere of the past.
