Today, it is impossible to imagine Ukrainian literature, culture and history without the creative work of Taras Shevchenko (1814-1861). He left brilliant poetic and prose works that are still relevant to the future generation
. According to the compilers of this collection, Dmytro Stus and Tamara Kholosha, "Shevchenko was decades ahead of the modernist search for Europe and the world, and his sincerity and poetic skill made the late period of his work one of the pinnacle achievements of European poetry of the nineteenth century."
