This is an automatically translated description
This book speaks to the reader in many voices and many languages. 30 fables by Hryhorii Skovoroda, written in the old Ukrainian language in the 70s of the 18th century, translated into modern Ukrainian by Nazar Fedorak and illustrated by the Agrafka creative workshop. Skovoroda wrote his own explanation of the powers for each of the texts, and in the book these powers occupy an equally important place with fables and illustrations. The reader will be immersed in an intellectual and visual journey through the eras of antiquity, baroque and modern times. The illustrations for each of the fables combine tradition and innovation, classical graphic techniques with modern experiments. Here, ancient baroque prints are transposed into the digital era, as if someone had sent them from the past using a binary code. Each image is a visual puzzle with many hidden symbols, allusions from the Bible, quotes from the author and Latin proverbs.
