Book 1. Liudmyla Starytska-Cherniakhivska. Selected works

The Yaka School series by Yakaboo Publishing presents a story by Liudmyla Starytska-Cherniakhivska, an unfairly forgotten Ukrainian writer, translator, playwright, and person of complex fate.

"The Diamond Ring" is a historical adventure story based on the stories of the author's grandfather, a former soldier and participant in the events described, Vitalii Romanovych Lysenko. The work deals with the events of the Polish uprising of 1830-1831. The protagonist not only sympathises with, but also helps to save the Poles who gave their lives for freedom and homeland - values so close to a conscious Ukrainian.

Book 2. Mike Johansen. Selected Works

The Yaka SCHOOL series by Yakaboo Publishing presents selected works by Mike Johansen, a prose writer of the Executed Renaissance and one of the founders of WAPLITE. The artist retained an unchanging individuality in his work, often resorting to experiments that can be observed in both prose and poetry, and often in their combination within the same text. Johansen is considered not only a talented writer, but also a translator and literary critic whose works are still relevant today.

The collection includes: "The Journey of the Scientist Dr Leonardo and His Future Mistress, the Beautiful Alchesta, to Slobozhanska Swiatry", selected poems.

Book 3. Panteleimon Kulish. Selected Works

This is confirmed by the first Ukrainian historical novel "The Black Council", which opens the collection. The publication also includes the idyll Maiden's Heart and the autobiography Kulish's Life.

Book 4. Lesya Ukrainka. Selected Works

Who is Lesya Ukrainka for us? This is Mavka, the Ukrainian Cassandra; this is her famous "In order not to cry, I laughed," and at the same time "No! I am alive! I will live forever!"... This is our national code of invincibility. Lesia Ukrainka's works include not only poetry but also translations, prose, and dramatic poems, a genre that the writer especially developed in Ukrainian literature. In this collection, we offer you to enjoy the most famous poems by the author, including "Ancient Spring", "I Wish I Could Become a Song...", "When I Was a Child, It Happened...", etc. The drama-extravaganza "Forest Song", the poems "Possessed", "Cassandra", "Boyarina", "Ancient Fairy Tale" are also presented to your attention.

Book 5. The Old King. Selected Works

Fairy tales by Vasyl Koroliv-Staryi (1879-1943) are a real gem of Ukrainian literature. The author rethought and revived many characters of Ukrainian mythology.

All of them honestly live invisible next to people, where they can, helping them, protecting them from disasters, evil deeds, and bad thoughts. The writer seeks to ennoble the Ukrainian "evil spirits", to deprive children of the feeling of horror before fictional scary creatures, and to make young people interested in mythology. The book teaches children to distinguish between good and evil both in fairy tales and in life.
