25 short essays, novellas, and sketches—written from the front line by soldier and poet Artur Dron. This collection is a direct, bold deconstruction of the classic literary canon of war.
Dron directly confronts the literary giants of the 20th century – Ernest Hemingway, Erich Maria Remarque, and the myth of the "Lost Generation." While traditional war literature portrayed soldiers as victims in the abstract, pointless conflicts of political elites, in Ukraine this worldview loses all meaning.
Here, war is not a distant tragedy – it is a fight to save one's own home and family. Pacifist detachment or the romanticization of war falls powerless when you see with your own eyes what you are defending from destruction.
Translated from the Ukrainian by Rusudan Kobakhidze
