This is an automatically translated description

The anthology is the result of the fourth Crimean Fig / Qırım inciri writing and translation competition (2021-2022). It traditionally contains the best works submitted to the competition in Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar. These works came from different parts of Ukraine and the world, and some of the authors, including the First Deputy Chairman of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People Nariman Dzhelal, civilian journalist Server Mustafayev, and activist Asan Akhtem, are currently behind bars in Russia on trumped-up absurd charges, the real purpose of which is to suppress the struggle for their land and freedom.

Poetry and prose, translated texts will allow a wide range of readers to learn more about the authentic culture of Crimea, to get acquainted with the classics and contemporaries of Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar literature, to discover the stories of the past and the modern realities of life on the peninsula.

The novelty of the book is that the works in the Crimean Tatar language, originally written in Cyrillic, are presented in parallel in Latin script, as the Crimean Tatar language has officially switched to this script. It is de facto banned in Crimea.
