- Book Synopsis
- This volume gathers some writings presented by the author at international Conferences, Seminars, Symposia, etc., a part of which have appeared (or will appear), in amended form, in scholarly journals, collections of acts and proceedings of conferences.<br>Each essay presents the figure of one of the main protagonists and builders of the multifaceted culture of Ukraine: Skovoroda, Sevcenko, Iwaszkiewicz, etc. Although often misunderstood or even imagined, by those who do not know it, as a provincial form of the wider "Russian" culture, the cultural life of Ukraine has always played the original and vital role of a transnational and transcultural hinge between different areas of the Slavic world and of the wider European world. The essays collected here were all composed in the light of this cross-cultural inspiration, this being the key to understanding the history of this country. <p></p><b>Giuseppe A.
