Buy Book "Three Hundred Poems" in Ukrainian

The book is incredible!

One can talk endlessly about Lina Kostenko’s poetry – in it there is music of the wind, birdsong, conversations with trees, philosophy of life…

The book “Three Hundred Poems” is wonderful, melodic, kind, eternal…

Since school, when in the 90s Kostenko’s works began to appear in textbooks, I was introduced to her poems.

Once, at a school competition, we were asked to translate an excerpt from the poem “We do not know what will happen after us…” It was a rather difficult task. How to translate a master’s work! It turned out like this.

We do not know what will come after us,

What outfit nature will wear.

And what is centuries for us is an hour for the Universe.

We are alive, but there is a koda in life…

*A coda is a musical term for the end of a piece of music.

Next, we studied Marusya Churai, a unique rendition of Ukrainian customs, moods, and the zeal of our ancestors.

Even now, when my own children are getting acquainted with Lina Kostenko’s poetry, I am struck by the simplicity and complexity of the images in her works.

Thank you, Ms. Kostenko, for your thirst for life, love of nature, faith and unbreakable spirit, love of our native Ukraine!

To the publishing house – I think it would be worthwhile to make a super-cover for the book, because it’s not nice when such an exquisite book gets dirty quickly.

An incredible, talented, patriotic and very strong woman, Lina Kostenko is not just a poet and writer! She has long been a symbol of Ukraine, a standard of literature! Her work has not lost its relevance and interest over the years, and does not age! And her rhyming lines are so precise and melodic that you wonder how many beautiful words can be found in our language.

Lina Kostenko’s collection Three Hundred Poems is only a small part of the works I was able to read. I read every line with joy and inspiration, re-reading what sank into my soul the most (and this is almost everything).

My best friend Iryna gave me this collection in a beautiful lavender-colored cover with a pleasant texture, and I am very grateful to her for that!

Ukrainian lyrics are probably the best thing that can ever be. And Lina Kostenko is an extremely talented representative of this very same lyricism. When you read her works, it is impossible to tear yourself away. This collection is like a breath of fresh air among all the literature that is currently appearing. It contains poems, selected excerpts from novels and poems. Of course, I’ve known almost all of the works since school – too well, but it’s so nice to read them again. And in such a great edition from one of the best publishing houses in Ukraine! The binding seems to be simple, but it is so elegant, and the overall design is a real pleasure for the eyes and hands. And a great addition to your home library.

A very nice gift for a loved one who really appreciates Ukrainian literature and literature in general. A very high-quality publication in every way – from the beautiful cover to the pages and font. I decided to add the collection to my home library, and Lina Kostenko is a truly outstanding poet, one of my favorites since high school. “Three Hundred Poems is not just a collection of poems; it also includes excerpts from some novels and poems. I was impressed by the fact that this is the most complete collection of the best of the best in recent times. And I was convinced of this. The format is also cool, compact, and stylish. Many thanks to the publishing house, this is a real joy for a Ukrainian.
