Born and brought up in a Galician-Bukovina ethnic environment with a strong Ukrainian dominance, K. E. Franzoz retained a lifelong love and respect for the Ukrainian people. The essays and reports in his cultural studies books "From Semi-Asia" and "From the Don to the Danube" depict with great sympathy Ukrainian topos and images, show the beauty and richness of Ukrainian folk dumas and songs, recreate the heroic and tragic pages of the history of the Ukrainian people and the main stages of the development of Ukrainian literature, and comprehend the uniqueness of the personal fate and the greatness of Taras Shevchenko's poetry. Written with unsurpassed stylistic brilliance, K. E. Franzoz's cultural essays on Ukrainian topics remain undoubtedly relevant today.
