This is an automatically translated description

Valerian Pidmohylnyi (1901-1937) was a Ukrainian writer and translator, a representative of the Executed Renaissance generation whose life was cut short by the Stalinist regime.

The writer's creative sun rose early: at the age of nineteen he published his first collection, and at twenty he debuted with the translation of Anatole France's novel Thais. It was thanks to Pidmohylnyi that works by Balzac, Stendhal, Diderot, Hugo, Voltaire, and Mérimée were published in Ukrainian. As an author, Valerian Pidmohylny showed himself to be a master of deep psychology and intellectualism. He subtly portrayed the problems of the city and the countryside, of the individual and the circumstances... Despite the diversity of subjects, these features are inherent in all his works."

You can enjoy the language, depth of images, and author's style in the selection, which includes the works: "The Sun Rises", "The Hard Question", "Haydamaka", "Ostap Shaptala", "The Military Flyer", "The Story of Mrs Yevga", "Death" and "Untitled..." - the last unfinished work, which is called a unique example of an intellectual and psychological novel in the Ukrainian literature of the XX century.
