This is an automatically translated description

The story takes place almost 800 years ago. The mountains and meadows are the same, but the time gap makes them seem as distant as if they were on another planet. The writer plunged extremely deeply into the history of Russia in order to transport himself there in his imagination and take the reader with him on this journey. And now each of us can spend a few hours in the medieval Carpathians, put our faces to the wind from the mountain peaks, smell the smoke from the fires and taste the pure spring water.

"The Rising Hawk" is a gem of literature that captures the reader in such a way that it is impossible to put it down. You live with the characters through their ups and downs, rejoice, grieve, and finally turn the last page with regret. No wonder students consider this story to be one of the most interesting in the school course of Ukrainian literature. After all, it has everything: unbridled love, insidious enemies, the will to win, and unity in the struggle.

Ivan Franko urged his readers 140 years ago to live as a community and fight for their rights together. But the community is not a relic of the past, but the immediate future of our children. Even now, globalised humanity is striving to divide into self-governing communities - from huge cities to small houses with several apartments. But Ukrainian communities have yet to learn how to defend their rights.
