Blue sketches

This book is dedicated to the work of M. Khvylovy , a writer who destroyed the traditional plot-narrative models of Ukrainian prose and created his own stylistic identity. His special style is characterized by a system of broken phrases, abruptness of thought and a peculiar rhythmization of prose. In the context of revolutionary events and chaos in the country, Khvylovy separates a person from the flow of history and illuminates his psycho-spiritual worldview. The writer contrasts imaginary and real episodes, highlights the problem of the discrepancy between dreams and reality, depicting a suffering, rebellious person who is in a tragic conflict with the outside world. The book reflects the creativity of this prominent Ukrainian writer, who changed the approach to literature and created a new style of Ukrainian prose.
