Story
The Tashkent-born Russian-American literary critic, editor, essayist, and journalist Vladislav Davidzon has been covering post-Soviet Ukraine for the past ten years, a tumultuous time for that country and the surrounding world. In late 2015, a year and a half after the 2014 Revolution swept away the Moscow-leaning kleptocratic President Viktor Yanukovich, Davidzon and his wife founded a literary journal, The Odessa Review. This eagerly anticipated debut tells the real story of what happened in Ukraine from the keen and resilient perspective of an observer at its center.

Story
In June 1862, Dostoevsky left St. Petersburg on his first excursion to Western Europe. Ostensibly making the trip to consult Western specialists about his epilepsy, he also wished to see the source of the Western ideas he believed were corrupting Russia. Over the course of his journey he visited a number of major cities, including Berlin, Paris, London, Florence, Milan, and Vienna. His impressions on what he saw, Winter Notes on Summer Impressions, were first published in the February 1863 issue of "Vremya" (Time), the periodical he edited, and are collected here.

Story
Своєю промовистою назвою і багатством сюжетних ліній роман Панаса Мирного Хіба ревуть воли, як ясла повні? викликає цікавість у читачів та спонукає до роздумів. Основною ідеєю твору є проблема соціальної несправедливості. Головний герой Чіпка шукає свій шлях, але так і не знаходить, адже його життя — постійна боротьба за правду, боротьба, яка ведеться на межі чесних і темних вчинків. Гостре відчуття соціальної нерівності щоразу підживлює бунтарський дух юнака.

Story
In 2014, Sonya Bilocerkowycz is a tourist at a deadly revolution. At first she is enamored with the Ukrainians' idealism, which reminds her of her own patriotic family. But when the romantic revolution melts into a war with Russia, she becomes disillusioned, prompting a return home to the US and the diaspora community that raised her. As the daughter of a man who studies Ukrainian dissidents for a living, the granddaughter of war refugees, and the great-granddaughter of a gulag victim, Bilocerkowycz has inherited a legacy of political oppression.

Wie hilft uns Literatur in den dunkelsten und einsamsten Momenten des Lebens? Und wie schreibe ich selbst über den Schmerz ohne Pathos, einfach und klar? Helga Schubert hat so viel bei Anton Tschechow gelernt. Über das Leben und das Schreiben. Helga Schubert erzählt in diesem persönlichen, traurig-schönen Buch von ihrer ersten Begegnung mit Tschechow, ihrer ersten Lektüre seiner Erzählung "Gram", die sie erschüttert und gerettet hat.
