Provocation to travels (Announcement)

The collection of stories by Ukrainian writer and translator Andriy Lyubka "Saudade" was released in mid-May. 

More than sixty short stories – sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic, partly autobiographical, but always sincere – invite readers to experience together with the author the happiest moments of traveling, symphony concerts and not always successful courtships. 
"Saudade" is to some extent the sequel to the book "Sleeping with Women," – Andriy Lyubka says – the success of which (three reprints!) was honestly unexpected for me. For some reason, it is believed that most readers like novels more than short stories, essays and the like. It turned out that the opposite is true: perhaps nowadays people prefer to read two or three pages long story on the way to work or during a coffee break. Anyway, "Saudade" is a collection of 60 short stories, sometimes adventurous, sometimes autobiographical; some of them are set in the Balkans, in Brazil or in a Belarusian prison, others – on an airplane or in a dormitory."
The collection has an unusual title. According to the writer, he chose it because he wants Ukrainians to learn a new word. "It is exotic, mysterious, and sounds so nice." And if you want to know what it means, you’ll find the meaning of it on the pages of "Saudade".

Transcarpathians will be able to find out more about the new book on May 25, at the presentation in the "Owl’s Nest," – it is stated at the event page on Facebook.
