About This Item
Kyiv, Vydannia I.T. Gubanova, 1913. . First edition, 8vo (19.5 x 13 cm); 47pp., soiling to lower margin of preliminary leaves; in the original illustrated wrappers, water stains to inside of covers, spine glued, some loss to spine and upper cover, tears, otherwise a good copy.
An extremely rare collection of Ukrainian prose and poetry compiled by the writer Klym Polishchuk (1891-1937). In includes little known works by K. Zhurlyvyi, T. Kobzarenko, P. Koval'chuk, M. Kovalenko, M. Bandurist and V. Perebyinis.
Polishchuk made his debut in 1909 with his first prose publication in the Lviv magazine 'Dzvinok'. In 1912, he came back to Zhytomyr, traveled across Volhynia and recorded folklore. Soon after 1914, he headed the first Ukrainian bookstore in St. Petersburg that was later transformed into the Drukar publishing house. In the early post-revolutionary period, he lived in Kyiv, edited local periodicals and took part in literary events. Together with the UNR army, he emigrated to Galicia in 1920, and the Lviv period became the most prolific for his publications. However, Polishchuk returned to Eastern Ukraine in 1924 and collaborated with the State Publishing House of Ukraine. In 1929, he brought them his last manuscript 'Polissya Noises' that wasn't released. In November 1929, he was blamed for Ukrainian nationalism and exiled to a GULAG camp in Solovki.
