Yuriy Shevelyov is one of the most prominent intellectuals in the history of Ukrainian culture. He spent his childhood and youth in Kharkiv, lived under German occupation, was in camps in post-war Germany, taught at Harvard and Columbia.
The focus of this publication is specific: to select and present the Shevelyov that we need here and now. The texts in the book are arranged in chronological order, from 1943 to 1997, a half-century panorama. There are several reasons for this sequence: to trace the dynamics of Shevelyov himself, to look at the development of motives and thoughts over time, and also to get the opportunity to see 50 years of Ukrainian intellectual history in exile through individual plots. These are intelligent, sharp, unyielding and original texts, written on the same wavelength and with a clear, because familiar, agenda.
All original texts are formatted according to the "Kharkiv" orthography of 1928
