The fragments of *The Ukraine* are loosely connected, like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle – and taken together, they bring into sharp relief the contours of Ukraine at the start of the twenty-first century.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"product-title-name\" data-v-26c9ed06=\"\"\u003eКнига 2. \u003cspan class=\"product-title-name\" data-v-26c9ed06=\"\"\u003eOrdinary People Don't Carry Machine Guns\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eA reporter and novelist who is also a soldier in the Ukrainian army reconsiders his pacifism and the choices one makes when war is waged against you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Chapeye represents a modern-day Ukrainian counterpart to classic American writers like Mark Twain or O.

Here one man, a pacifist turned fighter, a story writer turned soldier considers the reasons for and reactions to war on a very personal level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapeye investigates his role in the Ukrainian people’s defense against the Russian army and his responsibilities as a father, a writer, a soldier, and a man of conviction. An avowed pacifist until 2022, Chapeye joined the Ukrainian army in the first days of the invasion. He tries to understand the large-scale decision-making that has a defining impact on both individual citizens and many of his fellow soldiers never considered enlisting before finding themselves at war; others fled the country. He wonders what his young children at home are doing and what they’re feeling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book has three parts, offering historical analogies and literary references throughout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“When Darkness Comes” relates the first days of the full-scale invasion in February 2022 when lives and the peace were shattered.“It’s Necessary to Cultivate Your Garden” details the experience of the everyday people of Ukraine, workers and peasants, who look forward to returning to simpler lives.The last section, “People Aren’t Divided into Brands,” critiques the elitism of those who consider themselves above those who “simply” fight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeeply thought-provoking, intelligent, and heartbreaking, this is an essential book for anyone who wants to understand the ways that war can change everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eКнига 3. \u003cspan class=\"product-title-name\" data-v-26c9ed06=\"\"\u003eThe Weathering\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter a young couple return from their summer in the Carpathian Mountains in Ukraine, they discover that the world as they once knew it no longer exists. Survivors are forced to adapt to the harsh conditions of their new reality: a place where erosion floats in on a breeze and ceasing to exist comes with a deceptively joyous capitulation. Overcoming deeply rooted fears, they try to forge another world, uniting with those who continue to fight the darker urges that can emerge when a society must rebuild. Will the couple be able to survive, make alliances with others, and give birth to a new generation? Will the insidiousness of human nature manifest itself in this new, post-apocalyptic world? Filled with beautifully melancholic and black humour, The Weathering becomes a kind of study of behaviour in critical situations when everything that once seemed stable falls apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003eArtem Chapai - Артем Чапай\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003eSeven Stories\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003eEnglish\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e2026\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e660 pst\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003ePaperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e140 mm \/ 5,5'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e210 mm \/ 8,3'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e390 g\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e9781838415983,9781911710219,9781911710325\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seven Stories","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49703659012234,"sku":"1515641","price":137.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0643\/1070\/6314\/files\/Artem_Chapeye_Set_Of_3_Books_Artem_Chapai_-_9781838415983_9781911710219_9781911710325-1.jpg?v=1783572902","url":"https:\/\/bookstoreint.com\/products\/1515641","provider":"Bookstore International","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
