The issue opens with Yurii Sherekh’s article “Not for Children” about V. Domontovych’s “Doctor Seraficus,” with a vignette by Yakiv Hnizdovsky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe literary section includes Todosi Osmachok, Mykhailo Orest, Vasyl Barka, Vadym Lesych, Leonid Lyman, Ihor Kostetsky, André Gide’s “Pastoral Symphony,” and Maksim Tank’s “Stones” from Belarus. It also contains a poem by Volodymyr Svidzynsky from the book Medobir, dated 1934 — the poet died in 1941, and these texts were not published in the USSR. And “The Hinksi Catrins of T’ang” is published under the name of Porfiry Horotak, a poet who never existed: it is a joint hoax by Yurii Klen and Leonid Mosendza, although by the time of the issue’s publication, Klen was no longer alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Arka” was published in Munich from July 1947 to May 1948 — eleven issues in total; the journal was the organ of the MURU literary circle (MURU mark on the back cover) and ceased publication after the currency reform in Germany. Printed in the American occupation zone on cheap paper, this periodical is poorly preserved in the Di-Pi collection and is almost never found in complete sets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"archivevam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63943530742131,"sku":"SKU-00135","price":6750.0,"currency_code":"UAH","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/7885\/2723\/files\/pr-15486107418995.jpg?v=1793985500","url":"https:\/\/archivevam.com\/en\/products\/arka-ch-2-8-miunkhen-liutyi-1948","provider":"ARCHIVEVAM РІДКІСНІ КНИГИ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
