Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver (Ukrainian edition) weaves a powerful and moving story of a boy born into hardship in Appalachia, whose life is shaped by loss, addiction, foster care, and an unbreakable will to survive. In this 544‑page hardcover translation by Serhiy Stets, published by Artbooks on November 4, 2024, readers follow Demon’s journey from his earliest days in a small trailer, through foster homes, school challenges, and his search for identity and meaning.
Kingsolver’s prose is raw yet tender, painting both the beauty and brutality of rural America. Themes of community, systemic neglect, creativity, and the redemptive power of storytelling are central. Demon’s hardships, though stark, are balanced by moments of kindness, humor, and hope. The novel is both a critique of social injustice and a tribute to human endurance.
Ideal for mature readers who appreciate literary fiction with emotional weight, social relevance, and vividly drawn characters. This edition offers a Ukrainian audience the chance to experience one of the most acclaimed works of recent years — winner of the Pulitzer Prize, praised for its empathy and complexity.
