The author wrote the first two parts as a textbook and the last two as a series of essays that, in his words, may provoke sharp debate.

In 1944, he found himself in Austria, and in 1948, he emigrated to Argentina, where he edited the monthly journal Porohy. From 1969, he lived in Munich, worked for Radio Free Europe, and taught at the Ukrainian Free University. “Strophics” opened his series on versification, which was continued by Phonics (1984) and An Outline of Comparative Metrics (1985).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book was published by the Institute of Literature at the Ukrainian Free University, founded by the neoclassical poet Mykhailo Orest (1901–1963), brother of Mykola Zerov.

The preface opens with an epigraph by Simone Weil about the danger of denying the past and directly refers to the contemporary controversy surrounding Ivan Dziuba’s book “Internationalism or Russification?”. The narrative begins in December 1917, when Skrypnyk set out for Kharkiv on Lenin’s personal orders, and covers his years in the Cheka and the People’s Commissariat of Justice, the development of the policy of Ukrainization and his own theory of the national question, up to his break with Stalin and suicide in 1933 after being accused of “national deviation”: the author calls this turning point the “fall of the national utopian.” The appendices include Skrypnyk’s own autobiography, the resolution of the Collegium of the People’s Commissariat of Education, an extensive bibliography, and an index of names; the pasted-in endpaper features a portrait of Skrypnyk by Anatol Petrytskyi (1930–31).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIvan Koshelyvets (1907, Velyka Koshelylivka, Chernihiv Oblast — 1999, Munich) was a literary scholar and critic, an honorary member of the NTSh and UVAN, and an honorary doctor of the Ukrainian Free University in Munich.

The book consists of two distinct parts. The first — the American tribune: speeches by Senators Theodore Green and Irving Ives, an introduction by Congressman Michael Feagan, a preface by the head of the UAA, Lev Dobriansky, and a review of “Ten Years of the UPA Struggle (1942–1952)” by Lev Shankovsky. The second, larger part — English translations of texts by the underground itself: stories, underground satire, an excerpt from a play, combat memoirs, orders, and the programmatic work of UPA Major Petro Poltava (Petro Fedun, 1919–1951), “The Conception of Independent Ukraine,” written in 1946 and first published in Ukraine in 1947; translated from a reprint smuggled west by insurgents in 1948.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe illustrations are a particular value of the volume.

His woodcut “If Tomorrow There Is War” is presented with a reference to an underground leaflet printed in Ukraine in 1949. The volume also includes the sculpture “Head of a Girl” by Mykhailo Chereshnyovsky, a former UPA soldier. This is one of the few channels through which the art of the Ukrainian underground reached Western readers during the movement’s lifetime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dust jacket was designed by Yakiv Hnyzdovsky (1915–1985) — a graphic artist whose woodcuts were included in collections at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Library of Congress; his authorship is noted on the verso of the title page. The publication belongs to the English-language series of publications by the Ukrainian emigration during the Cold War, intended for American politicians and journalists rather than their own. The bibliography at the end of the volume documents this milieu: the Munich quarterly “Do Zbroi,” works by Mykola Lebed, Oleh Martovych, Petro Mirchuk, and Clarence Manning, and Khashevych’s woodcut album published by “Prologue” in Philadelphia in 1952.

The checklist runs to 57 items dated 1944–1966 — mostly oils, along with woodcuts, colour lino-cuts, bronze, terra-cotta and ceramics: \"Death\" and \"Prayer\" (1944), \"Homeless\" (1948), \"Icarus and Diver\", \"Tower of Babel\", \"Last Supper\", \"Creation of an Apple\", the Paris \"Métro\" series and \"Seagram Building\" (1959).

Kowalsky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJacques (Yakiv) Hnizdovsky (1915–1985) studied art in Warsaw and Zagreb and arrived in the United States in 1949, at the age of thirty-five. In 1950 A. Hyatt Mayor of the Metropolitan Museum of Art chose one of his woodcuts for a purchase award at the Minneapolis print exhibition, and weeks later an oil still life was awarded at the Minnesota State Art Exhibition; that same year he moved from St. Paul to New York. His first one-man show of paintings, small sculpture and ceramics came in 1954 at the Eggleston Gallery; he worked in Paris on his Parisian scenes in 1956–1958, and from 1958 to 1964 showed almost annually at Harry Salpeter's gallery in New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe institute's introduction explains why the exhibition was called the years of search. In the afterword to \"Flora Exotica\" (1972) Hnizdovsky wrote that the doubts he had brought from Europe had grown in him to crisis proportions. Lacking money for new canvas, he repainted his own pictures until they grew heavy as lead, and destroyed a number of them; what he could not resolve on canvas he tried in sculpture, ceramics and colour lino-cut. In the early sixties he returned to the woodcut, his first love, and it was the woodcuts that brought him wide recognition. Because so many canvases were destroyed or painted over, the decade 1950–1960 remained his least known and most varied period — and this catalogue is one of the few illustrated sources for it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"archivevam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64589810368883,"sku":"SKU-00189","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"UAH","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/7885\/2723\/files\/pr-15528936833395.jpg?v=1793988338"},{"product_id":"hnizdovskyi-yakiv-woodcuts-1944-1975-gretna-1976-superobkladynka","title":"Hnizdovskyi Yakiv.

Included are an early album poem about poetry and beauty being the only things that will survive time, a 1932 lullaby, the Hutsul “Verkhi,” and the late “Venus Urania” (1981) with an epigraph by Volodymyr Svidzynsky. In the foreword, Vira Vovk calls the book a comprehensive anthology that brings together volumes from different years, tracing a line from Anacreontic lightness to the strict sonnet, triolet, and sestina, while listing Homer, Horace, Dante, Goethe, and Baudelaire among the author’s constant interlocutors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRostyslav Kedr is a pseudonym of Ivan-Volodymyr Manastyrskyi (1905–2002). Born in Lviv to the family of the engineer-surveyor Vitov Manastyrskyi, the elder brother of the artist Anton Manastyrskyi; he graduated from Lviv University in the early 1930s. He made his debut with the volume “Sonnets” (Lviv: Vohni, 1931, with a cover by Kedr); in 1939 he published “The Frothy Goblet,” which received an extensive review by Yevhen Malanyuk. During World War II, he served in the “Galicia” division and survived the bombing of Dresden at the end of the war—an experience that formed the basis of a major part of his late lyric poetry. He settled in Canada; despite high praise from Malanyuk, Vira Vovk, and Ihor Kachurovskyi, his name did not appear in any anthology of Ukrainian émigré poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book was published by Toronto’s Yevshan-Zillya at the expense of its founder—on the verso of the title page, the author thanks “my long-time friend, the Forest Devil,” Master Ivan R. Kostyuk, for providing a thousand dollars for the publication; the mention of “forest devils” refers to a volume of the same name and to Kedr’s poem of the same title. The book was not printed at a Ukrainian press but at a Toronto copy center, which explains its modest appearance—an even sharper contrast with the cover designed by Yakiv Hnyzdovskyi (1915–1985), one of the most renowned Ukrainian graphic artists of the 20th century.

The presentation is based on documents: the first chapter opens with two acts of 1657, including the oath of the Pinsk nobility to Khmelnytsky from June 20, translated by the author from Polish. The volume has an extensive scholarly apparatus — notes, a dictionary of archaic and rare words, an index of names, and in the appendix is provided the Polish prototype of the work \"Dwie chwile z dziejów porewolucyjnej Ukrainy.

It was no longer possible to publish a revised, complete edition in exile, so the new book was intended to supplement the previous outlines. The text is divided into three sections—“At the Summit,” “In the Flames,” and “Literature in Western Ukraine and in Exile”—and is structured as a school course: a portrait of the writer with their years of life and a list of works, followed by studies of individual figures (Ivan Franko, Lesya Ukrainka, Olha Kobylianska, Mykhailo Kotsiubynskyi, Vasyl Stefanyk, Nataliia Kobrynska), and in the final section—Yevhen Pluzhnyk, Tados Hliomcha, and other authors who had not been written about in the Ukrainian SSR at that time.

His “Outline of the History of Ukrainian Literature” had gone through five editions since 1922 and had served for decades as a school textbook for Galician youth, which had been banned by the Polish authorities. He also wrote novellas about Galician life and books for children. After the war, he ended up in exile: his novella “In the Gales of the Storm” was published in Philadelphia (1951), and his three-volume “History of Ukrainian Literature” in Detroit (1955–1956).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book opened the “Works of the Literary Commission” series of the restored Shevchenko Scientific Society and simultaneously became the third issue of the “Library of Ukrainian Studies”—a series through which the society continued its scholarly program in America.

This marriage drew the Cossack army into the Moldavian estates—and this is the basis of the plot. The protagonist, a young rider Yaremo Hradych, together with the Cossack Biletsky, travels from the astonished inhabitants of Kopychyntsi and Khotyn to Iași, Suceava, and Chyhyryn; Lupul, Tymosh, Bohun, Vyhovsky, and the Hetman’s chancellery clerks also appear.

He practiced medicine in Sudo-Vyshnia and, during World War II, organized a hospital and provided medical aid to the UPA; in 1949, he emigrated to the United States via Austria, where he headed a tuberculosis hospital.

Yurii Stefanyk (1909–1985), the youngest son of Vasyl Stefanyk, known to readers as Yurii Klynovyi, prepared the almanac until his final days and died in Edmonton on April 25, 1985. The book opens with his photographic portrait and a memoir by Hryhorii Kostiuk (1902–2002), while Klynovyi’s name is framed in the list of the editorial board.

In prose: a section from Oleksii Izarskyi’s novel Stolnytsia nad Izarom, Yar Slavutych, Ihor Stekh, Ivanna Savytska, and Oleksander Zozulya. The drama section presents Mykola Ponedilka’s hitherto unpublished play Znedoleni, with Klynovyi’s preface, and Myron Levytskyi’s Fiasco Afrodity. Among the essays are Olha Vitoshynska on Olha Kobylianska’s creative relationship with Lesya Ukrainka, Oleksandra Kopach on Shevchenko’s novellas, Kostiuk on Hryhorii Kosynka, and Dmytro Chub on Maksym Rylskyi; the volume concludes with obituaries for Bohdan Nyzhankovskyi, Oleksander Fylipovych, and Ivan Smoliia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ukrainian Writers’ Association “The Word” was founded in New York in 1954 as a continuation of MUR; it had been publishing its non-periodical almanac since 1962.

The book concludes with statistical summaries and a separate chapter, “Skala—the Town of My Birth.” The text includes group photographs of the Supervisory Board and Centrosojuz employees with captions identifying them: Yulian Sheparovych, Ostap Lutsky, Denys Korenets, and Mykola Tvoridlo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIvan Martyukh (1889–1972) was born in Skala-nad-Zbruchem, left the Ternopil gymnasium after the sixth grade due to a lack of funds, and began working in the “Mishchanska Kasa” credit cooperative in his hometown.

From 1924, he was an initiator of the creation of Centrosojuz and a member of its Supervisory Board; from 1930, he served as director; he oversaw the marketing of Ukrainian agricultural products in the markets of Europe and South America. In 1944, he left for Poland, where he died in Łódź.
