{"product_id":"ukrainian-voices","title":"Ukrainian Voices","description":"Nobody knows how to explain the mystery of fame. Many once well-known people who spent much of their lives at the core of historic events have fallen into oblivion since. The brilliant East Ukrainian poet and Soviet-era dissident Vasyl Stus (1938-85) became renowned only after his reburial in late Soviet Ukraine in 1989. What are the reasons for the widespread admiration for him in post-Soviet Ukrainian society? The exceptional beauty of his poetry? His stunning courage and selflessness as a Soviet dissident? The irreconcilability of his position as a human being? Or\/and Vasyl Stus' ability to feel the pain of others as his own?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrying to answer these and other questions, the poet's son and literary scholar Dmytro Stus masterfully combines a cultural and biographical study with private recollections and observations of his father. The book offers a sometimes-paradoxical merger of genres mixing academic analysis with novelistic narration. It shows Vasyl Stus through the eyes of his son and researcher against the background of twentieth-century Ukrainian \"belated\" emergence as a nation-state. The Ukrainian edition of this book won Ukraine's prestigious Shevchenko National Prize.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dmytro Stus, Ludmila Bachurina, Tetiana Shcherbachenko\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 388\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9783838216317\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20230113\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43537900765245,"sku":"9783838216317","price":51.26,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9783838216317.jpg?v=1788265048","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/ukrainian-voices","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
