“Books are the depths of the sea: whoever dives to the very bottom…”

Ivan Franko

We seek out Ukrainian books that have outlived their time: from seventeenth-century Kyiv imprints to banned editions and books of the diaspora. Every book is described honestly, and the rarest are researched in depth.
