Historical Food Fiction – Vsevolod Polishchuk (Ukrainian Edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Ukrainian-language collection of “historical food fiction” by Vsevolod Polishchuk, in which meals and drinks become a way into the lives of real twentieth-century figures. What was Stalin worried about while Roosevelt was eating cheese? Why did Churchill reach for cognac rather than whisky in tense moments? Could a roast goose have helped Oppenheimer with the atomic bomb, and why did Stanisław Lem calm his nerves with halva?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolishchuk mixes invention and documented fact so skilfully that the fiction feels as convincing as the archive. Some stories feature people you will recognise at once, others only hint at the world around them. The idea behind the book is that people look more like themselves at the dinner table than on a public stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA witty, easy-to-gift book for lovers of history, food and good stories, perfect for dipping into one chapter at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eYou may also like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/cooking-in-sorrow-a-manual-for-interacting-with-ukrainians-and-food\"\u003eCooking in Sorrow – Yevheniia Kuznietsova\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-last-colony-philippe-sands-ukrainian\"\u003eThe Last Colony – Philippe Sands\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/taste-the-sugar-of-moment-a-public-diary-by-a-chief-editor\"\u003eTaste the Sugar of the Moment – Anna Nechipurenko\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEdition details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLanguage: Ukrainian\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthor: Vsevolod Polishchuk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: Old Lion Publishing House (Vydavnytstvo Staroho Leva)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYear: 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePages: 200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: 145×200 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN: 978-966-448-645-0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Vsevolod Polishchuk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55736211767633,"sku":"9789664486450","price":11.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0875\/0861\/5505\/files\/978-966-448-645-0_2.webp?v=1794229965","url":"https:\/\/booklya.shop\/products\/cognac-for-mr-churchill-vsevolod-polishchuk-ukrainian","provider":"BOOKLYA ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
