This is an automatically translated description

A book about the life and work of actor, director, and screenwriter Ivan Mykolaychuk. His films and roles are usually associated with the traditions of Ukrainian mythopoetic cinema, although in reality this phenomenon is much more extensive. It is associated with both the magic of screen art and the mysteries of life itself. Already in his first roles (Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors and Dream), the actor reached the world's top. His fate was more complicated, but always connected with the historical dramas of the nation and its culture. The artist's early death highlighted the plot of his fate, which left behind his enduring films and a powerful authorial myth. The same myth that the author of the book seeks to decipher.

The second edition.
