        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.

        The Frontline: Essays on Ukraine's Past and Present

        by Serhii Plokhy

        The Frontline presents a selection of essays drawn together for the first time to form a companion volume to Plokhy’s The Gates of Europe and Chernobyl. Here he expands upon his analysis in earlier works of key events in Ukrainian history, including Ukraine’s complex relations with Russia and the West, the burden of tragedies such as the Holodomor and World War II, the impact of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, and Ukraine’s contribution to the collapse of the Soviet Union. Juxtaposing Ukraine’s history to the contemporary politics of memory, this volume provides a multidimensional image of a country that continues to make headlines around the world. Eloquent in style and comprehensive in approach, the essays collected here reveal the roots of the ongoing political, cultural, and military conflict in Ukraine, the largest country in Europe.

        The vocabulary of a nationalist and other essays

        by Mykola Riabchuk

        This collection of opinion journalism is a comprehensive and far-sighted look at the past, present, and future of Ukraine in political and cultural aspects. The author meticulously describes the phenomena of Ukrainian realities, in particular, analyzes the Ukrainian Maidans (2004 and 2013), examines the crisis of the Ukrainian elite, Ukrainians’ identity crisis by nationality or citizenship, and also describes in details the USSR iron curtain of the 20th century in the sphere of culture and literature. Most of these essays were published in periodicals, mainly in English and Ukrainian, sometimes in Polish and German, and occasionally in such languages as Farsi, Turkish, and Catalan. The author prepared all Ukrainian versions with the hope of a synergistic effect of personal experiences gathered under one cover and hoping to awaken from the Soviet delusional dream that has not yet dissappered.

        by Marcel Reich-Ranicki

        Marcel Reich-Ranicki wurde am 2. Juni 1920 in Wloclawek / Polen geboren. Sein Vater, David Reich, war ein polnischer Jude, seine Mutter, Helene eine deutsche Jüdin. Die Familie siedelte 1929 nach Berlin um. Dort besuchte er das Gymnasium. Im Herbst 1938, kurz nach dem Abitur, wurde er verhaftet und nach Polen deportiert, wo er ab 1940 im Warschauer Getto leben musste. Anfang 1943 gelang ihm zusammen mit seiner Frau Teofila die Flucht aus dem Getto in den Warschauer Untergrund. Seine Eltern und sein Bruder wurden von den Nationalsozialisten ermordet. Zunächst im Polnischen Diplomatischen Dienst tätig, fand er seine Berufung schließlich in der Literatur. Er arbeitete für Zeitungen, im Rundfunk und als Übersetzer. 1958 siedelte Reich-Ranicki in die Bundesrepublik Deutschland über. Er lebte von 1959 bis 1973 in Hamburg, dann zog er nach Frankfurt am Main. Er war für die Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ), Die Welt und die Wochenzeitung Die Zeit als Literaturkritiker tätig und gehörte von 1958 bis 1967 als solcher der Gruppe 47 an. 1968 war er Gastprofessor für deutsche Literatur des 20. Jahrhunderts an der Washington University in St. Louis (USA) und 1969 am Middlebury College (USA). Von 1971 bis 1975 lehrte er als ständiger Gastprofessor für Neue Deutsche Literatur an den Universitäten Stockholm und Uppsala. Ab 1974 war er Honorarprofessor an der Universität Tübingen, in den Jahren 1991/92 bekleidete er die Heinrich Heine-Gastprofessur an der Universität Düsseldorf. Marcel Reich-Ranicki war Ehrendoktor der Universitäten Uppsala (1972), Augsburg (1992), Bamberg (1992), Düsseldorf (1997), Utrecht (2001) und München (2002). Nachdem er 1988 die Leitung des Literaturteils der FAZ abgegeben hatte, schrieb er weiter Kritiken in verschiedenen Zeitungen und wirkte von nun an auch im Fernsehen: Von 1988 bis 2001 leitete er das Literarische Quartett im ZDF. Reich-Ranicki wurde mit zahlreichen Preisen geehrt und galt als einer der bedeutendsten Literaturkritiker Deutschlands. Er starb am 18. September 2013 im Alter von 93 Jahren.
