Book Yuriy Andruhovych (3 Books Collection Set)
This is an automatically translated description
The author of The Lovers of Justice is the "patriarch of Ukrainian literature", a contemporary Ukrainian poet, writer and publicist, winner of the ANGELUS Central European Literary Prize, Yuri Andrukhovych. His books have been translated into many European languages. He wrote this novel for 27 years. At first glance, this is not a novel, but eight and a half short stories, connected not by a plot, but by a common mood and atmosphere. The last story unites and explains all the previous ones. The events described take place in the seventh and twentieth centuries in Galicia. The reader will see the criminals who stood trial before the court of the occupying empires: Austro-Hungarian, Polish, German, and Soviet. The book describes not only horrific and disgusting crimes, but also the weaknesses and passionate hobbies of the criminals. The punishments for them are not always objective, but often horrific. Most of the characters had real prototypes, as did their criminal actions. The author relied on archival materials when writing the book. But this is not a scientific historical work, so Andrukhovych often uses allusions to some historical facts.
The book Lovers of Justice will be interesting to everyone who is not yet familiar with the work of Yuri Andrukhovych and to those who know him well, appreciate him and look forward to his new works. Fans of postmodernism, whose representative in Ukrainian literature is considered by European literary critics to be Yuri Andrukhovych, will also be fascinated by this work.
Those who have already read the book &Lovers of Justice», the last work by Yuri Andrukhovych, leave favourable reviews about the fascinating stories of Galician murderers.

Book 2. A literary triad with dialogue and monologues
This book was born out of conversations between three old friends who gathered in Vorokhta in mid-August 2017 to talk. Three days of unhurried, frank and interesting conversations are the three chapters of this book.
What will they talk about? Of course, about literature, because the participants in this conversation are Yuri Andrukhovych, Oleksandr Boychenko, and Orest Drul. On two hundred and forty pages, you will read their thoughts on how books appear, how to learn to write, and they will not ignore criticism and all kinds of literary awards. You will learn what they mean by a good text, what they think about poetry and prose, their thoughts on Russian literature and Bible translation. And of course, they will talk about life.
This book is an amazing opportunity to look behind the scenes of the literary life of artists. It is as if you can become its fourth participant, who, reading the text, feels like sitting next to the authors. Page by page, conversation by conversation, topic by topic, you will delve deeper and deeper into the world of literature.
As in «real life», another revolution has failed. Perhaps because it lost its mysterious leader. Joseph Rotsky (not to be confused with either Joseph Brodsky or Joseph Roth), the musical hero of the barricades, is forced to flee somewhere, trying on the fate of many other Josephs. He is being persecuted by the regime's secret services, and this is only half the trouble. There is also inappropriate love that cannot be dealt with, and bank secrecy that cannot be dealt with. There is also prison experience and an unwittingly successful terrorist attack. As well as reason and oblivion, laughter and darkness, cold and hell, irony and pain. The last hiding place from which it is allowed to conduct a night eter. Or is it really the last?
«Radio Night» is the most dramatic and at the same time the most lyrical work by Yuri Andrukhovych. A space in which an adventurous novel meets fantasy, and David Bowie meets the travelling musicians of the Middle Ages.
