The name of Oleg Sentsov, a film director, screenwriter, writer, civil activist, imprisoned in Crimea in 2014 and sentenced to 20 years on terrorism charges, is known to every Ukrainian today.

«Marketer» — is a collection of Oleh's short autobiographical prose. In it, the author tells mostly about his student years: passing exams, everyday life in a dormitory and at an apartment, unrestrained fun, lack of money - the usual components of the life of young people who acquire knowledge. The beginning of the nineties. Change of values. Destruction of stereotypes. Formation. Hardening of the soul and character. Love, friendship, survival, and business... A thoughtful and attentive reader will find all this in Oleg Sentsov's new book. A Ukrainian translation is provided next to the original.

Book 2. Life

Oleg Sentsov is a Ukrainian film director, screenwriter and writer, civil activist. Winner of the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought and the Taras Shevchenko National Prize of Ukraine. He was detained in Crimea in May 2014 and sentenced to 20 years in a Russian prison on terrorism charges.

«Life» — is a collection of autobiographical stories. This is a book for everyone who still hasn't found an answer to the question of why Oleg helped the Ukrainian military in Crimea, why he spoke openly about the war in Ukraine unleashed by Russia, why he went on a hunger strike and didn't ask for clemency. These texts introduce us to the author during a period of important internal search and change for him, when he seeks to understand who he is, what path he will follow and from which he will never leave.

This is the first publication of Oleg Sentsov's works in Ukrainian translation, which are presented alongside the Russian-language originals. This is an extremely important book for Oleg, and even while in detention, he actively participated in its publication.
