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: “Journey of the scientist Dr. Leonardo and his future mistress, the beautiful Alchesta, to Slobozhanska Swizaria”, selected poems. Book 3. Panteleimon Kulish.

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 author’s most famous poems, including “Ancient Spring,” “I Wish I Could Become a Song…”, “When I Was a Child, It Happened…”, and others. Also, you will find the drama-extravaganza “Forest Song”, poems “Possessed”, “Cassandra”, “Boyarynya”, and “Ancient Fairy Tale”. Book 5. The Old King. Selected works The fairy tales of 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, helping them where they can, protecting them from disasters, evil deeds, and bad thoughts. The writer seeks to ennoble Ukrainian “evil spirits,” to deprive children of the feeling of horror before fictional scary creatures, and to interest young people in mythology. The book teaches children to distinguish between good and evil both in fairy tales and in life.
