{"product_id":"spirit-of-restlessness","title":"Spirit of Restlessness","description":"\"Spirit of Restlessness\" is a compelling collection of essays by Yurii Lavrinenko, a renowned Ukrainian intellectual, critic, and literary scholar. Published in 2025 by Vikhola Publishing, this 304-page book delves into the intricate tapestry of Ukraine's cultural and political history. Lavrinenko, a close associate of Yurii Shevelov and a student of Oleksandr Biletskyi, offers profound insights into the works of luminaries like Pavlo Tychyna, Vasyl Ellan-Blakytnyi, and the political landscape of Ukraine. His efforts were instrumental in bringing the legendary anthology \"The Shot Renaissance\" to the world in 1959. In this anthology, Lavrinenko's writings exhibit the temperament of a publicist combined with the analytical tools of a critic. He explores themes ranging from the works of Ivan Franko and Mykola Skrypnyk to Lesia Ukrainka and Mykola Khvylovy. Engaging in dialogues with figures like Czesław Miłosz, he reflects on Ukraine's connections with the East and captures the essence of the Ukrainian cultural renaissance. Lavrinenko's life journey, spanning Uman, Kharkiv, Germany, and the USA, was marked by arrests and exiles. Despite these challenges, he persevered, editing Ukrainian newspapers and contributing to Radio Svoboda. His enduring legacy is that of a critic from the Kharkiv 1920s, who carried the romanticism of Vitalism to diverse formats and geographies. This book is an invaluable resource for readers interested in Ukrainian literature, history, and culture. It offers a deep dive into the intellectual currents that have shaped modern Ukraine, providing both historical context and contemporary relevance. Ideal for scholars, students, and anyone passionate about Ukrainian studies, \"Spirit of Restlessness\" invites readers to engage with the complexities of Ukraine's past and present.","brand":"Yurii Lavrinenko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53029568414033,"sku":"9786178606329","price":13.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0875\/0861\/5505\/files\/647220167.webp?v=1771255081","url":"https:\/\/booklya.shop\/products\/spirit-of-restlessness","provider":"BOOKLYA ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
