Description
The Kobzar is a foundational text of Ukrainian identity and literature, first translated into English by Peter Fedynsky. This collection of verse has played a significant role in shaping Ukraine's written language and cultural heritage. Originally censored by the Russian czar, the book has endured despite this, with numerous editions published in Ukraine and abroad. Over 110 editions were published in Ukraine alone during the Soviet period, and translations of Shevchenko's work have been published in many other languages, including Slavic, Germanic, Romance, Chinese, Japanese, Bengali, and more. This testament to his impact on world culture is a reflection of his enduring influence. A groundbreaking poet and a key figure in modern Ukraine, Taras Shevchenko remains a relatively poorly known figure in world literature. This translation seeks to change this state of affairs, making his entire collected verse accessible to a new audience.
