A Man Running Over the Abyss

"A Man Running Over the Abyss" is one of the most powerful and realistic texts about the Second World War in Ukrainian literature. This novel illustrates the situation in which the civilian population found itself, sandwiched between two occupiers. But even among such terrible scenery, we see a hero who refuses to submit to any encroachment on his freedom. A hero that only Bahrianyi could describe.

This book is a hymn to life in the midst of bombings and prison camps, a true example of stoicism and faith in man, and, ultimately, a series of adventures and dangers on the way Home.
