Book 1. The Templars

«39 poems about the war that no one declared, about the pain that no one can cope with, about the love that no one can give up, and the hope on which everything rests. Serhiy Zhadan.

«In a sense, we all live in the era of Zhadan…I perceive him as a voice of reason and an example of an honest position of a writer in our once again in the throes of self-birth country». Alexander Roytburd.

Book 2. Bread Truce. The Play

What to do when you don't trust even your closest family? How do you get out of the trap you've driven yourself into? Who can you tell about the most important things if your language is broken and your ability to listen and understand remains in the pre-war past?

The events of The Bread Truce take place in the summer of 2014. The story of one death gradually turns into the story of a whole generation, the story of relationships between children and parents, the story of betrayal and mistrust, full of comic words and tragic meanings, which Serhiy Zhadan is so good at combining. The war is on, and no truce can heal the wounds inflicted: they will continue to ache, forever changing the lives of people who did not intend to fight.

Book 3. Antenna

«Antenna» – 80 new poems written by the author over the past two years. It is not known what the sensitivity of "Antenna" is based on, but these are 80 attempts to catch the vibrations of the air, to catch the flow of invisible radio waves in space, to feel the time we live in, breathe, and speak. Time, every touch of which leaves a burn. A time in which private diary entries can turn out to be war chronicles, and biblical stories can become the morning news.
