Paul Robert Magocsi / author“The Grand Prix is given in recognition of this book’s importance in making Robert Magocsi’s comprehensive history of Ukraine accessible to a Turkish-speaking audience, thanks to its well-crafted translation.”
Ukraine is Europe's second-largest country. This lavishly illustrated volume provides a concise and easy-to-read historical survey of Ukraine from earliest times to the present. Each of the book's forty-six chapters is framed by a historical map, which graphically depicts the key elements of the chronological period or theme being discussed. In addition, the entire text is accompanied by sixteen statistical tables and over 300 historic photographs, line drawings, portraits, and reproductions of books and art works, which bring the rich past of Ukraine to life.
This book emphasizes the multicultural nature of Ukraine throughout its history. While ethnic Ukrainians figure prominently, author Paul Robert Magocsi, (Chair of Ukrainian Studies, University of Toronto) also deals with the many other peoples who live or who have lived within the borders of present-day Ukraine: Poles, Russians, Jews, Crimean Tartars, Germans (including Mennonites), and Greeks, among others.
Ukraine: An Illustrated History is not only an indispensable resource for students and specialists in the European area and Slavic studies, it offers information for the media, businesspersons, government officials, as well as general readers interested in having easy access to fact-based information about historic political, economic, and cultural developments in Ukraine.
And now it is available to a Turkish audience of readers.
