Lina Kostenko. Berestechko. Historical Novel. (premium edition).

 Track 
Reviews (3)
"...Grandeur of the historical destination and the drama of the lonely human soul – these two dimensions are indissolubly linked in the novel. The hetman, revived in his new love, once again leads his insurgent army. Sovereignty of the state is born out of endured individual freedom and mature human will.

The poetic novel "Berestechko" was being created at different stages of the opposition of Ukraine and its struggle for independence – starting from the mid-1960s till the end of the 1990s. The 20th century recognizes itself in the 17th century. Ukraine is again forced to overcome the fatal recurrence of its problems. But the drama of the defeat turns into the philosophy of revival, catharsis, resurrection from ruins of the human and of the people. Victory over the defeat – this is the key philosophical and psychological code of this work.

Artistic design by Sergiy Yakutovych and a disc with the recording by Petro Boyko together with the poetic novel create a unique artistic synthesis complemented with deep analytics – an article by Ivan Dzjuba on works by Lina Kostenko and an article by Volodymyr Panchenko on "Berestechko".

Kateryna Kalytko. Orden movchalnyts. (The Order of the Silent)


The portrait of a Ukrainian woman more often presents her being silent than when she is talking. But without the experience of this silence, there would be no voice that sounds in this collection. The voice that defends the right to speak sincerely about acute grief, generational traumas, the courage of love..

Serhiy Zhadan. Psalom aviatsiji. (The Psalm of Aviation)


..Changing the optics results in a change in writing. This is what the book is predominantly about: about how landscapes shape us, how trees give us verticals and lakes give us depths, how spring greenery teaches us optimism, and summer rivers teach us generosity. Simple knowledge that helps appreciate every voice heard in the morning.

Serhiy Zhadan. Spysok korabliv. (The Ships List)


Sixty poems about the memory, born of love, and about the fire, which only leaves tenderness behind. Sixty attempts to outline the light and speak about the air over the city.

Olexander Klymenko. Pro dereva i levitatsiyu. (About Trees and Levitation)


This book is a fallout from the mundane life into metaphysics, a story about the human life that sprouts from heavy roots to levitate. A world born in creative visions can become the most important lifetime asset – an equivalent of true faith, hope, and love.

Serhiy Zhadan. Antenna.


80 new poems written over the past two years. 80 attempts to experience by touch the time that we live in, that we breathe, that we talk about. The time every touch of which burns. The time where private diary entries may turn out to be a military chronicle, and Biblical stories – morning news.

Iryna Tsilyk. Hlybyna rizkosti. (The Depth of Sharpness)


..almost every woman can do that: give birth to a baby – and start to intensively recall her own childhood; see her husband go to the war – and start drawing parallels with the wars long past. But not everyone can with such love and determination express that, making the past as sharp as the present, and the present – as deep as the past.

Borys Khersonsky. Kosmosnash.


"...I think that the most important things about my poems are sight and memory. Medieval Christianity commands us to remember the four "last things" – death, Judgment, hell, and paradise. But while these things have not been fulfilled, we remember the penultimate thing. Let's call it – to be short – life." Borys Khersonsky

This is what the new poems by the famous Lviv poetess Halyna Kruk..

Слушала диск и сложилось такое впечатление, что Пётр Бойко, конечно, отлично читает, но это уж очень как-то отстранённо получается. Не видела постановки "Берестечка" в театре и не могу сравнить озвучивание текста. Моё мнение, что чтение на этом диске - чисто актёрские приёмы, стремление правильно и выразительно прочитать текст, и это вполне удалось. Но это никакая не драматургия и не передача страстей и мук. Чтец явно хорошо и спокойненько себя чувствует, в отличие от главного героя "Берестечка".

Диск пока не слушала. О книге можно сказать вот что. Обилие иллюстраций на каждой странице, пожалуй, затрудняет восприятие текста, тем более что текст расположен нестандартно, поперёк страницы. Такое впечатление, что текст играет второстепенную роль. Я читала это произведение Лины Костенко на uazone.net, где, конечно, нет никаких иллюстраций и ничто не мешает восприятию. С другой стороны, очень хорошо, что практически весь роман проиллюстрирован, это редкость и большой труд художника.
