The proposed publication aims to bring to the general public the most complete, uncensored and prophetic poetic heritage of Shevchenko. The collection is based on the unique, complete edition of Kobzar that was published in Germany in the 1920s under the editorship of the famous Vasyl Simovych. This "Revived Kobzar" became possible thanks to almost a decade of work by compiler Mykola Zubkov, who used a significant number of original and reprinted works by unbiased Shevchenko scholars (in particular, from the period of the 1920s to the 1990s) and a variety of archival sources, as well as the latest Ukrainian and foreign literary and historical research. About twenty per cent of the poems in this collection contain lines that the reader will not find in any other "Kobzar" - from single words, phrases to entire pages of text! Sometimes such restored fragments radically change the perception and understanding of the work as a whole. In addition, many works are presented with different author's versions of the text.
