The Hunters and the Hunted

While writers of the USSR, forced to work for the sake of communist ideology, continued to create the myth of a happy reality, Ivan Bahrianyi's novel "The Hunters and the Hunted" was published in exile. From every page of the novel, the story of the destruction of the Ukrainian people mournfully looks at the reader. And every page assures that it is impossible to destroy such a people. At the same time, the author managed to organically combine the harsh truth of life with an exciting plot, so the story about the adventures of escaped political prisoner Hryhorii Mnohohrishnyi in the taiga can be read in one breath. There are hunting fables, risky raids, and romantic love - everything that readers love so much.

Ivan Bahrianyi's novel "The Hunters and the Hunted" does not lose its appeal for modern readers and remains a model for future generations of Ukrainian writers.
