The name of Vasyl Marochkin, a courageous fighter for freedom who dared to challenge the Soviet regime by joining the Ukrainian Helsinki Group, is well-known to erudite Ukrainian readers. He is not only a gifted historian whose monographs on the history of medieval Ukraine are kept in the most prestigious libraries of the world, but also a distinctive poet (author of three collections of poems published in Ukraine) and a powerful prose writer whose works are published in periodicals in Ukraine, Canada, the USA, Australia, and Poland. «The Month of Love» is the first and, to some extent, a summary book that collects the best examples of Vasyl Marochkin's prose works. It includes stories, sketches, and the historical novella "Four Barrels of Tokay." Written in different genres but united in one book, like fragments of a magnificent stained glass window, the works create a unique picture of the life of the Ukrainian people over the centuries: from Cossack times through the trials of the First World War and the fierce struggle for independence, the famine of the 1930s and Stalin's terror, the tragedies of the Second World War, the horrors of which could not destroy humanity in Ukrainians. Vasyl Marochkin's language is rich and refined, he writes powerfully and concisely, giving the reader the opportunity to enjoy the beauty and aptness of every word. His works are imbued with sincere love for Ukraine, its history and people, deep empathy for human suffering, and an unshakable faith in the victory of good over evil.
