The book will be available in Ukraine in May-June 2023. The translation will be done by ArtHuss publishing house.
The publication introduces readers to “more than 100 buildings and works of art, from prehistoric times and the Baroque era to a modern bomb shelter, in a country that we finally see as the heart of Europe.
With chapters on Orthodox icons and Catholic cathedrals, Soviet avant-gardeism and ethnic folk crafts, this book illustrates a culture whose very diversity now puts it at risk—and indeed, some of the works are depicted, such as stone statues near Kharkiv, dated 9-13 century, already damaged.
