Volodymyr Dibrova. Perekazky. (The Retold)

"The collection by Volodymyr Dibrova "The Retold" consists of eleven chapters. Each of them is a commentary and a variation on themes of famous fairy tales and other literary works. They include examples of folklore and folk narratives, the myth and the duma, a parable for first-graders and a passage from the Bible, and even a modern novel. All these works are presented as retold by the author and are accompanied with a literary commentary, which quickly transforms into memories, and then – into a separate story. This genre makes it possible to combine the national and the individual, the universal and the personal.
But above all, "The Retold" is the result of scrutinizing the fairy tale and of its slow reading. Where the focus is on the eternal, one should not be rushed."
This book was included in the long list of the "BBC Book of the Year 2013" Award (Ukraine).
