This book provides a simple and convincing answer to this question. Each of its chapters is an attentive and leisurely reading of one of Shevchenko's famous works ("The Caucasus", "The Cherry Orchard Around the House", "I Was Thirteen", "A Dream" "Wheat Stings Wheat…") with a deep and witty commentary by Volodymyr Dibrova.
The author is a translator, literary critic and lecturer at Harvard University, and teaches Ukrainian language and literature to students from around the world. In this collection of essays, he, avoiding simplification and total idealization, "translates" some realities, contexts and reflects on the sources of poetic influence of the writer. This book is aimed at allowing you to look at famous texts with a "fresh eye" and, after reading them, find your own Shevchenko and better understand yourself as a Ukrainian. Just about the complex and important. Interesting, fascinating and dynamic about literary texts and their influences on culture and society.
