Book 1. Ukrainian Spitsbergen. Vedmedi, Vugillia and Communism

Don't zvika to speeches, to people, to places. There is no sense to build a house, to plant a tree, to give birth to a son. All of them have come from abroad, all of them will go somewhere else....

That could be the history of Spitsbergen as a forsaken land, which de jure belongs to Norway, but de facto does not belong to anyone, such a hall of expectation, where people work, go to bars, and for some time collect their belongings and go on their way. This is just a stop on the road, not the end. Then Maksim Bespalov managed to turn his report about a week-long mandrivka into his own personal education in love for a place so far away from the world we know.

Maxim wanders through the settlements of the archipelago, literally picking up pieces of history. Here once lived Ukrainian miners, who came to work, and behind the horn is the so-called Doomsday Shelter, where we keep samples of usinnya in case of catastrophes. Here the whole town welcomes the sun after the polar night, and sometimes it is so self-conscious that a tourist is seen as the best friend.

Spitsbergen can be very different. It can be awe-inspiring, enchanting and disappointing. In this book Maksim has chronicled the history of Spitsbergen - its past, present and, perhaps, even its future - through the stories of the Ukrainians who have been brought to this place. This is the history of Ukrainian Spitsbergen.

Book 2. Najkrascha book about Kamino. History of the road with a thousand names

Book 2.

First of all Camino de Santiago is a chain of roads that lead to the relics of the Apostle James. But this road has long since become something more. When you step on the road, you never know what awaits you: what encounters and trials you will encounter, and, finally, what you will see at the end. This invisibility is part of the magic of Kamino, for the sake of which people go on the road.

"The Best Book about Kamino" is the story of a road with a thousand names and a thousand faces. The beginning of one history becomes the end for another, and on top of that, here meet old friends and strangers, people get confused and make decisions, sometimes - someone is found or lost. No matter how many events happened on this Way, no matter what way you made it: on foot or on a bicycle, in a company or on your own - this road never ends. Having made the first step, a person spends the rest of his life in search, because true pilgrimage does not lead to a specific point, it is directed in the middle of you.

The novel-reportage of Maxim Bespalov is a chimerical combination of real and imagined histories, which are intertwined and form a single vizzerunok, a history that begins with the first croc on the Way of St James. "I don't know a single person who went out on St James's Way just to take a walk," Maxim writes. - Everyone is looking for something on this road, but they are looking for something of their own, something special. Or special. Or special. One really finds it.
