A searing novel that excavates the human collateral damage wrought by the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine

A searing testament to poetry's power to define and defy injustice, from iconic writer-activist Serhiy Zhadan

"2014. Rusia ha invadido la regiâon ucrania del Donbâas. En medio de la destrucciâon causada por la guerra, Pasha, un maestro de treinta y cinco aänos, busca a su sobrino de trece que ha quedado atrapado en un orfanato al otro lado del frente de guerra. Pasha se ve obligado a aventurarse en zonas de combate, atravesar fronteras cambiantes y forjar alianzas incâomodas por el camino en un espacio donde la vida civil se ha derrumbado. Y se da cuenta de dâonde estâan sus verdaderas lealtades en una lucha cada vez mâas desesperada por rescatar a su sobrino Sasha y llevarlo a casa. Si toda guerra necesita su magistral cronista, Ucrania tiene a Serhiy Zhadan, merecedor del Premio de la Paz de los Libreros Alemanes y considerado por Timothy Snyder como uno de los mâas importantes creadores culturales en activo de Europa. Siguiendo la estela del paisaje apocalâiptico de La carretera y la narraciâon belica de Adiâos a las armas, Orfanato es una novela inolvidable que muestra con crudeza y compasiâon los daänos humanos provocados por el conflicto desatado por la agresiâon rusa. Escrita con una impresionante intensidad, Orfanato serâa recordada como la novela definitiva de la guerra en Ucrania."--

A powerful record of the first four months of the Russian-Ukrainian war, this book is at once the testimony of one man entering a new reality as he writes and the story of a society unified in its fight for the right to exist.

A New Orthography by Serhiy Zhadan is the fifth volume in Lost Horse Press's Contemporary Ukrainian Poetry Series. In these poems, the poet focuses on daily life during the Russo-Ukrainian war, rendering intimate portraits of the country's residents as they respond to crisis. Zhadan revives and revises the role of the nineteenth-century Romantic bard, one who portrays his community with clarity, preserving its most precious aspects and darkest nuances. The poems investigate questions of home, exile, solitude, love, and religious faith, making vivid the experiences of noncombatants, refugees, soldiers, and veterans. This collection will be of interest to those who study how poetry observes and mirrors the shifts within a country during wartime, and it offers solace as well.
