This is an automatically translated description

The popular science publication by publicist and researcher Vitaliy Ablitzov “Oles Honchar. Illusion and Reality" opens to readers the little-known pages of the life and creative path of the writer Oles Honchar - a worthy person, conscious of his importance, freedom-loving person who all his life was guided by Western civilised criteria of honour, freedom, moral and ethical standards. This book can rightly be attributed to the literature that contributes to proving the truth about Oles Teryentiyovych. Vitaliy Ablytsov seeks to diligently organise into a system all the currently available material scattered in various sources in Ukraine, in archives, and also reaching abroad. The subtitle of the book, Illusion and Reality, is inspired by the interpretation of the meaning of the concept of catharsis (the essence of aesthetic experience in ancient Greek philosophy), which has another interpretation - purification by art.

The book is intended for a wide range of readers.
