Last Saturday, during the celebration of Ukrainian Independence Day, we had the opportunity to present the HURI Books collection in Boston, from historical essays to works by modern Ukrainian authors such as #Stiazhkina, #Zhadan, #Prokhasko, #Rafeyenko, #Kostenko, #Lutsyshyna, and #Aseyev

Valerian #Pidmohylnyi's The City is a landmark of #Ukrainianliterature — blending French modernism, Freudian insight, and existential tension. Set in Kyiv, the novel reflects the literary life of the 1920s and reminds us why Ukrainian culture stands the test of time. @harvard.edu

What does it mean to exist—and be remembered? In EARTH GODS, Taras #Prokhasko explores new forms of storytelling. Featuring ANNA'S OTHER DAYS, FM GALICIA, and THE UNSIMPLE, this volume is a revelation of #Ukrainian literary depth. #EarthGods #TarasProkhasko #HURIBooks #Ukraine @harvard.edu

Today, August 24, #Ukraine marks Independence Day—a journey of struggle for dignity and sovereignty. At #HURIBooks, we honor those who shaped our history and defend it now. Every book is a voice of freedom. Every word is an act of resilience. Happy birthday, Ukraine! #UkrainianIndependenceDay

Russia has long tried to erase Ukrainian identity. Marxist Oleksandr #Shumskyi resisted from within the #Soviet machine—paralyzed, tortured, yet unbroken. His story echoes in today’s fight for freedom. This new book sheds light on his legacy. #HURIBooks #Ukraine #UkrainianHistory

#Ukrainian journalist Stanislav #Aseyev spent nearly 3 years in captivity at a torture camp known as #Izolyatsiya in Russian-occupied #Donetsk. His memoir THE TORTURE CAMP ON PARADISE STREET reveals #Russia's crimes and the resilience needed to survive under inhumane conditions. #HURIBooks

Serhiy #Zhadan’s A HARVEST TRUCE is a tragicomedy set near the front line in eastern #Ukraine. In this play, Zhadan shows how war distorts the usual rhythms of life—birth, death, and harvest. #SerhiyZhadan #UkrainianLiterature #HURIBooks #Ukraine @harvard.edu

In 1994, #Ukraine gave up the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal for security "assurances." In 2014, Russia violated them. Yuri #Kostenko presents debates, pressures, and consequences of Ukraine's nuclear disarmament. Could history have played out differently? #HURIBooks @harvard.edu

THE LENGTH OF DAYS by Volodymyr #Rafeyenko is a surreal, witty portrait of life in occupied #Donbas. Set in the city of Z, the novel combines magical realism, politics, and pop culture to showcase the resilient spirit of #Ukraine. #TheLengthOfDays #HURIBooks @harvard.edu
