On the island

For readers aged 15+

The book "On the Island" is a collection of modernist prose by Mykhailo Mykhailovych Kotsiubynsky. The renowned author of Ukrainian classical literature had a gift: he saw the innermost corners of the human soul. The writer could delve into a person's consciousness, revealing their true motives, fears, and emotions. This is what helped him create unique, rather contradictory characters – peculiar "islands," whose shores are bypassed by currents of muted feelings. Shying away from the external world, they listen to the trembling of their own being to comprehend the fullness of inner peace.

Kotsiubynsky's collection "On the Island" contains twelve works – timeless stories about the meaning of life of people, these countless lonely archipelagos. The classic's texts touch upon timeless events and situations, thus retaining their relevance despite changing eras.
