This is an automatically translated description

"Man Running Over the Precipice" is one of the most powerful and realistic texts about the Second World War in Ukrainian literature. This novel illustrates the situation of the civilian population caught between the two occupiers. But even amidst this horrific scenery, we see a hero who refuses to submit to any encroachment on his freedom. A hero whom only Bahrianyi could describe.

This book is a hymn to life amidst bombing and prisoner of war camps, a true example of stoicism and faith in man, and, ultimately, a series of adventures and dangers on the way home.
