"The bright fabrics of poems, short stories, and essays by ten famous Ukrainian authors make one reflect on the phenomenon of volunteering – the recent events made us closely face this phenomenon. There is some sense in the saying that in difficult times the evil become more evil, while the good – even kinder. A war is always a marker. A marker of hatred and humanism. For there are those who sow hatred, and there are those who do that with love. This book is about the latter. About the ordinary people around us who sometimes seem to be true Atlases, on whose shoulders our world rests. About those who are doing extraordinary things for soldiers, the wounded, orphans, refugees from morning till night seeking for opportunities to help. These are volunteers. Peaceful Warrior of Light. Each of us can be that..." Texts edited by the authors. Attention! Profanity occurs. In Ukrainian. Type of the edition: hard cover Format: 116x165 mm Number of pages: 256 Publisher: Bookclub, Kharkiv

The new novel by Stepan Protsiuk is the consciousness of the era as a "surgical" cut. Exposing all of its guts. Eerie? Sure! But this is the only way one can understand why he/she is like that... Why an invisible "mamay" sits on one shoulder, and a "vatnik" – on the other?

These poems were composed by Israeli poet Tirza Atar. She composed them long ago, in the mid 70s. Sure, not about our reality – but about theirs, for the war has long been grown into normal lives of people there. And it is creepy that these poems – written on behalf of a seven year-old Jewish girl – are so much in unison with our reality..

The thin silvery thread is not just an image, but a symbol of death. Insidious like death itself, because it can only be disclosed by an unexpected ray of sunshine – and then it will gleam maliciously, because the victim escapes. Polina Zherebtsova's new book speaks about the two Chechen wars in a strict and unsentimental way, and thus it touches the depths of human consciousness..
