This is an automatically translated description

If you live among people who do not understand what the "far away" is, because they are all blind, how will you feel? How will you explain to your beloved what the sun, light, beauty, and God are? In the world of the blind, the young man Gabr begins to see, but he is mistaken for a madman. His beloved surrenders him to the Ministry of Control, which treats Gabr for his terrible hallucinations. However, the struggle for the truth is just beginning; Gabriel is destined to learn about the terrible secret of the rulers of this huge skyscraper-state, where millions of blind people are controlled by electronic sensors and have no idea how their world works.

And this will change the fate of our hero. But will it bring him happiness? Highly acclaimed in Ukraine and in the West, the intellectual novel by the famous Ukrainian writer Yaroslav Melnyk, whom critics call a «neo-symbolist» and a «mystic», is a powerful metaphor for a world that is ready to sacrifice truth for security. The translation of the novel has been published in several European countries, including France, where it won the 2018 Book of the Year award by French booksellers and received almost 20 reviews in the central French press (Le Monde, Le Figaro, etc.).).

In Ukraine, The Far Space became the BBC Book of the Year 2013. The novel has recently been included in the compulsory 11th grade curriculum of Ukrainian secondary schools. It is one of the most powerful works of modern times.
