Oles ILchenko. Misto z khymeramy. (The City with Chimeras)
"This kind of works are aptly called "metaphysically true". The writer Oles Ilchenko, based on unique archival materials, recreates events of the first third of the last century... "The City with Chimeras" is, perhaps, the first narrative about the fate and creativity of an architect in the Ukrainian literature – a story that is historically accurate, and yet mystical, detective... The well-known Kyiv architect Wladislaw Horodecki became a legend even during his lifetime. No one else out of more than a hundreds great Kyiv architects has been attracting such an extensive attention. This fiction work is about the architect's life – the life that is often more incredible than the wildest fantasies. And Kyiv – the city of Horodecki's creative apotheosis – as the reader will see, still hides lots of secrets..."
