Brothers Anton and Tolik reunite at their family home to bury their recently deceased mother. An otherwise natural ritual unfolds under extraordinary circumstances: their house is on the front line of a war ignited by Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine. Isolated without power or running water, the brothers’ best hope for success and survival lies in the declared cease fire—the harvest truce. But such hopes are swiftly dashed, as it becomes apparent that the conflagration of war will not abate. With echoes of Waiting for Godot, Serhiy Zhadan’s A Harvest Truce stages a tragicomedy in which the commonplace experiences of death, birth, and the cycles of life marked by the practices of growing and harvesting food are rendered futile and farcical in the wake of the indifferent juggernaut of war.

A searing testament to poetry’s power to define and defy injustice, from iconic writer-activist Serhiy Zhadan Finalist for the PEN America Literary Award for Poetry in Translation “Reading these words now is enough to make one’s breath catch. [Ukraine’s western partners] do not see themselves as members of its funeral processions; they do not routinely line the streets and kneel before passing coffins.”—Linda Kinstler, Times Literary Supplement Since the Russian invasion of Crimea in 2014, the Ukrainian poet Serhiy Zhadan has brought international attention to his country’s struggle through his unflinching poetry of witness. In this searing testament to poetry’s power to define and defy injustice, Zhadan honors the memory of the lost and addresses the living, inviting us to consider what language can offer to a country threatened with extinction. Young lovers, marginalized outsiders, and ordinary citizens pulse with life in a composite portrait of a people newly unified by extremity. Even in the midst of enemy fire, Zhadan’s lyrical monuments, forged entirely in wartime, beat with a subterranean thrum of hope. Translated by Virlana Tkacz and Wanda Phipps, and with a foreword by the poet Ilya Kaminsky, this selection of Zhadan’s poetry is an homage to the Ukrainian people, a forceful reckoning with the violence of the past and present, and an act of artistic imagination that breaks with trauma and charts a new future for Ukraine.

From Ukraine’s leading writer-activist comes an intimate account of resistance and survival in the earliest months of the Russian-Ukrainian war “A vivid, in-the-trenches report from a Ukrainian city and its ‘injured, yet unbreakable’ citizens.”—Kirkus Reviews When Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Serhiy Zhadan took to social media to coordinate a network of resistance workers and send messages of courage to his fellow Ukrainians. What began as a local organizing effort exploded onto the international stage as readers around the globe looked to Zhadan as a key eyewitness documenting Russian atrocities. In this powerful record of the war’s harrowing first four months, Zhadan works day and night in Kharkiv to evacuate children and the elderly from suburbs that have come under fire. He sends lists of life-saving medications to the West in the hopes of procuring them for civilians, coordinates food deliveries, collects money for military equipment, and organizes concerts. He shares photographs of the open sky—grateful for every pause in the shelling—and captures images of beloved institutions reduced to rubble. We’ll restore everything. We’ll rebuild everything, he writes. As the days pass, the city empties. Friends are killed. And when images of the Bucha massacre are released, Zhadan’s own voice falters: I’m speechless. Hang in there, my friends. Tomorrow, we’ll wake up one day closer to our victory. An intimate work of witness literature, this book is at once the testimony of one man entering a new reality and the story of a society fighting for the right to exist.

Ühes Donbassi alevis töötav noor ukraina keele õpetaja Pasha läheb koju tooma oma naaberlinna internaatkooli pandud 13-aastast õepoega, sest eelmisel aastal alanud sõja lahingud on juba koolini jõudnud. Sellest saab kolmepäevane ellujäämisretk. Serhi Zhadan kirjeldab uskumatult võimsalt, kuidas kunagine tuttav maastik muutub apokalüptiliseks keskkonnaks. Ta jutustab inimestest, kes astuvad hirmule ja hävingule vastu enesekehtestamise ja vastutustundega." Serhi Zhadani keeles on imeline rütmitaju ja musikaalsus ... Zhadan on metafooride meister ja ta loob tavalistest lahingutsoonis elavatest inimestest väga elavaid portreesid. Tema kirjanduslik anne särab selles romaanis nagu sünged tähed vaikuse ja sõjamüraga maalitud linnamaastiku kohal." Sofi Oksanen, Literary HubSerhi Zhadan (snd 1974) on Ukraina kirjanik, tõlkija, muusik ja kodanikuaktivist. Ta on Ukraina noorema põlvkonna kirjanikest üks tuntumaid. Zhadani esimene romaan "Depeche Mode" (2004) ilmus 2020. aastal Loomingu Raamatukogus ja 2022. aastal selle kuldsarjas. 2010. aastal ilmunud romaan "Voroshilovgrad" on võitnud mitmeid auhindu ja selle põhjal on valminud mängufilm "Metsikud väljad". Oma bändiga Zhadan i Sobaki on ta esinenud ka Tallinnas.

One day you wake up and see a fire outside your window. You didn't start it. But you will have to put it out. January 2015. Donbass. Pasha, a school teacher, watches the front line steadily approaching his home. It so happens that he is forced to cross the line. And then to return back. And to do this, he needs to decide which side his home is on.

The easiest thing to do in times of war is to hate others. The hardest thing is to reach an understanding. Even with your own people. But we must try, otherwise the war will never end. And to reach an understanding, you need to talk. With anyone, in any way and about anything. The main thing is not to lose humanity, that is, love and attention.

A devastating story of the struggle of civilians caught up in the conflict in eastern Ukraine Chosen as one of “Six Books to Read for Context on Ukraine” by the New York Times Selected by Publishers Weekly as one of the “20 Best Books of 2021” “Powerful . . . For those who want a glimpse of what life will be like in Ukraine for years to come, The Orphanage offers a frightening glimpse.”—Bill Marx, Arts Fuse If every war needs its master chronicler, Ukraine has Serhiy Zhadan, one of Europe’s most promising novelists. Recalling the brutal landscape of The Road and the wartime storytelling of A Farewell to Arms, The Orphanage is a searing novel that excavates the human collateral damage wrought by the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine. When hostile soldiers invade a neighboring city, Pasha, a thirty-five-year-old Ukrainian language teacher, sets out for the orphanage where his nephew Sasha lives, now in occupied territory. Venturing into combat zones, traversing shifting borders, and forging uneasy alliances along the way, Pasha realizes where his true loyalties lie in an increasingly desperate fight to rescue Sasha and bring him home. Written with a raw intensity, this is a deeply personal account of violence that will be remembered as the definitive novel of the war in Ukraine.

A New Orthography by Serhiy Zhadan is the fifth volume in Lost Horse Press's Contemporary Ukrainian Poetry Series. In these poems, the poet focuses on daily life during the Russo-Ukrainian war, rendering intimate portraits of the country's residents as they respond to crisis. Zhadan revives and revises the role of the nineteenth-century Romantic bard, one who portrays his community with clarity, preserving its most precious aspects and darkest nuances. The poems investigate questions of home, exile, solitude, love, and religious faith, making vivid the experiences of noncombatants, refugees, soldiers, and veterans. This collection will be of interest to those who study how poetry observes and mirrors the shifts within a country during wartime, and it offers solace as well.
