Many once well-known people who spent much of their lives at the core of historic events have fallen into oblivion since. The brilliant East Ukrainian poet and Soviet-era dissident Vasyl Stus (1938-85) became renowned only after his reburial in late Soviet Ukraine in 1989. What are the reasons for the widespread admiration for him in post-Soviet Ukrainian society? The exceptional beauty of his poetry? His stunning courage and selflessness as a Soviet dissident? The irreconcilability of his position as a human being? Or\/and Vasyl Stus' ability to feel the pain of others as his own? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTrying to answer these and other questions, the poet's son and literary scholar Dmytro Stus masterfully combines a cultural and biographical study with private recollections and observations of his father. The book offers a sometimes-paradoxical merger of genres mixing academic analysis with novelistic narration. It shows Vasyl Stus through the eyes of his son and researcher against the background of twentieth-century Ukrainian \"belated\" emergence as a nation-state. The Ukrainian edition of this book won Ukraine's prestigious Shevchenko National Prize.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dmytro Stus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3838216318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783838216317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ibidem Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 388\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.70w x 0.90d","brand":"Dmytro Stus","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48799244157183,"sku":"9783838216317","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vasyl-stus-dmytro-stus-9783838216317","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
