Book Chronicles of unexplored lands
This is an automatically translated description
"Each story in this collection by famous Ukrainian writers, participants of the literary YouTube project Fantastic Talk(s), is a kind of marker on the time-space map of Ukraine. 15 B.C., 1540, 1941, the beginning of the twenty-third century... The Chronicles of Uncharted Lands will take you to different epochs and corners of our country (and even its space settlements). Everywhere - under the ancient sands of the Black Sea coast, in the castle walls of Podillia, under the layers of black gold in Donetsk region, on the ancient streets of Lviv, and even on the Ukrainian station on the Mars satellite - discoveries are waiting for you. For some, it will be the unravelling of a mystical story, for others - insights from ancient history, and for others - an understanding of the history that Ukrainians are writing right now.
