Easter classic

We invite you on an exciting journey through the uncharted expanses of Ukrainian classics. Discover its peaks and depths, find the points of contact between the past and the present.

The Easter bell rings in the Ukrainian cultural tradition from ancient times to the present and each time sounds with new overtones. This anthology collects prose works by thirty-three and poems by twelve authors who present Easter as a text - from Hryhoriy Skovoroda to the end of the twentieth century.

The Easter text tells about life, death, and immortality. About sacrifice, forgiveness, and atonement for sins. About absolute defeat - and undeniable victory. About faith, hope, and love.

Easter is not only a great theme, but also a great code: a great mystery, a symbolic message, and a key to understanding. Resurrection from the dead transforms animal life into a meaningful human existence, gives it meaning and opens a window into the future.
