        What Grows in the Park

        by Kateryna Mikhalitsyna

        This is a little story about big things like growing up in a community, appreciating similarities and differences in people around us, and discovering one's own identity in order to be happy. But it is also about learning how to recognize trees in a park and know them by their leaves, fruits and flowers — a little bit of eco-education conveyed in a very playful, fairy-tale manner. A sprout grows in a park and looks attentively at the trees around it — the birch, oak, maple, sycamore, chesnut, poplar tree, willow, and ginkgo — trying to discern its own identity by comparing itself to them, getting to know who is who, and figuring out whom it resembles. Because “happiness is having someone like you as a friend”.

        Nobody knows us here, and we know nobody

        by Kateryna Kalytko

        Kateryna Kalytko's new book is a long story written in one breath. It is a book about personal boundaries that one will recognize and defend as well as the boundaries will always protect him. This story is about the ability to live with one's scars, being an orphan, remembering the metallic smell of weapons at night, and the air in which time is dissolved. This is the story about the taste of your own words that burn your mouth when you taste their true meaning.

        The Torture Camp on Paradise Street

        by Stanislav Aseyev

        There is a prison operating in present-day Ukraine, where horrific torture techniques are being utilized. This prison is, in reality, a concentration camp, beyond whose fencing no laws reach. Life there is lived in humiliation, fear, and uncertainty. Wounds and burn marks cover bodies that are filled with pain from broken bones and, often too, broken wills. The principal tasks here are surviving after the desire to live has forsaken you and nothing in the world depends on you any longer, preserving your sanity as you teeter on the brink of madness, and remaining a human being in conditions so inhuman that faith, forgiveness, hate, and even a torturer locking eyes with his victim become laden with manifold meanings. The journalist Stanislav Aseyev, imprisoned in this torture camp on trumped-up charges of “espionage,” wrote this frank, emotional, and probing memoir in an attempt to both survive and recover from the hell he was cast into. He offers more questions than answers in this book, as testament to the fact that the lives of those released from the prison at 3 Paradise Street will forever remain divided into “pre-” and “post-.”

        Who Grows in the Garden

        by Kateryna Mikhalitsyna (Author), Oksana Bula (Illustrator)

        The nightingale has returned from distant Africa and is looking for a spot to build its nest. And there are so many trees and bushes in the garden to chose from! Which of them would make a good home for a bird? Maybe a sour cherry tree, or a sweet cherry tree... or perhaps even a cherry plum tree? And what about a plum, or a pear tree? Each tree tells its story to the nightingale, describing its own special traits. What emerges from the stories of the trees is the image of the old gardener, clever and kind, who treats the trees as living creatures, talks to them and cherishes them greatly, along with his family, still living in the nearby house, honoring the trees and collecting their fruit.     From 3 to 6 years,  2515 words Rightsholders: ivan.fedechko@starlev.com.ua

        The Holiday I Had to Take

        by Kateryna Yehorushkina (Author), Sonia Avdieieva (Illustrator)

        When the holidays draw near, schoolchildren begin to think about rest and travel. Sadly, this time, Vira's (Faith) holidays will be different due to the war. She, along with her parents and younger brother, has to move to the basement floor of their apartment building to hide from the bombardments. The family members do all they can to adapt to this new reality: they melt snow when they run out of water, try to warm themselves up by singing when they run out of heating, and reassure themselves that all the people close to them are safe when they cannot hear from them. The usual way of life seems like a distant memory, surviving perhaps only in our imagination or in computer games. Yet, even in these activities, and in supporting our loved ones, we can learn how to find a light inside that no missile will ever be able to reach. The Holiday I Had to Take is not only the moving story of Vira; readers of Kateryna Yehorushkina's book will also find advice and soothing practices from psychologist Svitlana Royz to support everyone finding themselves in difficult times   From 3 to 8 years, 2138 words.

        Bridges Instead of Walls, or What Unites Ukrainians?

        by Tetiana Teren

        In this collection of essays, twenty Ukrainian intellectuals reflect on the phenomenon of social bridges and walls. Why do they both exist? Do bridges always bring understanding? Or do they perhaps sometimes allow crossing boundaries? Do walls necessarily separate? Or do they occasionally protect? With whom and how should we build bridges, and from whom shall we isolate by walls? The result of the media project of the Ukrainian branch of the International PEN Club, published in the New Time publication, is now under one cover. On the pages of the book, you will find essays by the following authors: Kateryna Kalytko, Kateryna Botanova, Vakhtang Kebuladze, Zoya Kazanzhy, Ostap Slyvinskyi, Olena Stiazhkina, Larysa Denysenko, Myroslava Barchuk, Viktoriya Amelina, Vitaliy Ponomariov, Vasyl Makhno, Volodymyr Rafeenko, Mykola Riabchuk, Volodymyr Yermolenko, Svitlana Pyrkalo, Borys Gudziak, Ihor Isichenko, Halyna Vdovychenko, Pavlo Kazarin, Vitaliy Portnykov. Compiled by Tetiana Teren. Foreword by Andriy Kurkov.

        Shevchenko. Modern biography

        by Stanislav Rosovetskyi

        When reading this book, Taras Shevchenko's admirers will sincerely empathise with the poet, make unexpected biographical discoveries and enjoy his art and his quirky sense of humour. Non-fans, whose dislike for the Ukrainian genius stems from the Soviet rendering which still dominates the school curricula, have a chance to see a different Shevchenko. The book shows the great poet in situations that destroy his stereotypical image that was cultivated over the years. Last but not least, a thoughtful reader will be able to see that Russia in the times of Nikolas I is not too different from today's Russia and that the challenges Ukrainians faced in the mid-19th century repeat in the 21st century.

        Testfall Ukraine

        Europa und seine Werte

        by Katharina Raabe, Manfred Sapper

        Der Krieg in der Ostukraine ist ein Krieg im Zentrum Europas. Das wurde spätestens klar, als über dem Kampfgebiet eine zivile Verkehrsmaschine abgeschossen wurde. Über 300 Menschen, die meisten aus den Niederlanden, kamen ums Leben. Doch nichts geschah, was die Gewalt und den rasanten Zerfall von Zivilität bis hin zum Sterben der Millionenstädte Donezk und Luhansk hätte stoppen können. Die Ereignisse, die der Maidan-Revolution in Kiew folgten, von der Krim-Annexion bis zur Invasion russischer Truppen in Nowoasowsk, haben binnen weniger Monate die Grundlagen der europäische Nachkriegsordnung erschüttert: territoriale Integrität, Souveränität, Sicherheit, Frieden scheinen außer Kraft gesetzt. Russland und der Westen stehen sich wieder feindlich gegenüber. Wie konnte es dazu kommen? Und was bedeutet das für das künftige Zusammenleben in Europa? Schriftsteller und Publizisten suchen nach Antworten. Mit Beiträgen von Alice Bota, Andreas Kappeler, Kateryna Mishchenko, Herfried Münkler, Serhij Zhadan u.a.

        Felix Austria

        by Sofia Andrukhovych

        The events of Felix Austria unfold in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Stanislav, present-day Ivano-Frankivsk — an ordinary city in the Reczposolita territories of Felix Austria (Austro-Hungarian Empire), whose residents live, suffer, inseparably fall in love, delight in science and the charlatan performances of world-renowned illusionists, seek amusement at balls and carnivals, shpatzir aroun their neighborhoods, and hide secrets in the carved wooden chests. And against the backdrop of an era that, for posterity, will become overgrown in myths about an idyllic way of life, arise the fates of two women, intertwined as closely as the trunks of two trees, who are bonded in an inextricable relationship that doesn’t allow them to live or breathe, stay or leave. Drama surrounded by the luxury and buzz of the beginning of the 20th sentury.
