Stories from the Ukraine
"Mykola Khvylovy was the shining light of Soviet Ukrainian literature. But in the early 1930s the Communist Party began a campaign of terror against Ukrainian peasants and intellectuals. Khvylovy shot himself in despair and disillusionment, but not before he left us these stories which chronicle his progress from talented revolutionary to bitter cynic. Stories from the Ukraine is the study of a failed idealism. Its picture of growing disenchantment with totalitarian society is as pertinent today as when these tales were first written"--Page [4] of cover.

A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian
When their recently widowed father announces he plans to remarry, sisters Vera and Nadezhda realise they must put aside a lifetime of feuding in order to save him. His new love is a voluptuous gold-digger from the Ukraine half his age, with a proclivity for green satin underwear and boil-in-the-bag cuisine, who stops at nothing in her single minded pursuit of the luxury Western lifestyle she dreams of. But the old man, too, is pursuing his eccentric dreams - and writing a history of tractors in Ukrainian. A wise, tender and deeply funny novel about families, the healing of old wounds, the trials and consolations of old age and - really - about the legacy of Europe's history over the last fifty years.
In Wartime
Urgent and insightful, Tim Judah's account of the human side of the conflict in Ukraine is an evocative exploration of what the second largest country in Europe feels like in wartime. Making his way from the Polish border in the west, through the capital city and the heart of the 2014 revolution, to the eastern frontline near the Russian border, seasoned war reporter Tim Judah brings a rare glimpse of the reality behind the headlines. Along the way he talks to the people living through the conflict - mothers, soldiers, businessmen, poets, politicians - whose memories of a contested past shape their attitudes, allegiances and hopes for the future. Together, their stories paint a vivid picture of a nation trapped between powerful forces, both political and historical. 'Visceral, gripping, heartbreaking' Simon Sebag Montefiore
