Ukraine, the Middle East, and the West
Ukraine, the Middle East, and the West
(Україна, Середній Схід і Захід)
Author: Thomas Prymak
Translator: Nadia Zavorotna
Translation: English to Ukrainian
This fascinating and fluidly written book is unique in that it is the first scholarly monograph to treat Ukraine's relations to the world outside eastern Europe. Thomas Prymak addresses geographical knowledge, international travel, political conflicts, historical relations with religiously diverse neighbours, artistic developments, and literary and language contacts to smash old stereotypes about Ukrainian isolation and tell a vivid and original story. The volume gives substance to Ukraine's claim to an independent existence across the centuries and puts Ukraine on the map of the world, for historians, art museums, cultural institutions generally, and for the wider public.
