The Factory (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Factory by poet and prose writer Ihor Mysiak, translated by Yevheniia Dubrova and Hanna Leliv, was published in its original Ukrainian in 2022, dedicated to the author's friend who was killed by Russia while defending his home. The following spring, Ihor himself was also killed by Russia, and a global community came together to further share his deeply poetic and insightful words.

Atmospheric and meditative, Mysiak's staccato Ukrainian storytelling paints an evocative tale of a motley and rather strange gathering of men who restore a broken-down factory aside an old, forgotten village to build and sell electronic machines assured to cause happiness. Though smoothly woven between pleasantries and mishaps, often calming, and frequently amusing, there is a deeply cutting edge of satire, fury, and rebellion to this meandering tale. In all of this, The Factory builds its own modern parable to remind the reader of love, community, and the joys of every single day, and the needthe urgencyto protect them.

Autorenporträt

Ihor Mysiak, born June 16, 1993 in Lviv, was a contemporary Ukrainian poet and prose writer. He studied history at Drohobych Pedagogical University and actively participated in the Revolution of Dignity. From late 2014 to mid-2015, he served as a military paramedic in the Azov Brigade. Mysiak won several literary awards in Ukraine, including Khortytsia Bells (2018), Irpin Parnassus (2018), Zhytomyr TEM (2019), and An T-R-Act (2020). His work has been featured in Literary Chernihiv, Dzvin, and various anthologies. In March 2022, a month after Russia invaded Ukraine, he joined the Territorial Defense Forces, fighting in the liberation of Kherson and later in the intense battles near Bakhmut. His debut novel, The Factory, was published in Ukrainian soon after, a sign of hope during the early weeks of the full-scale invasion that Ukraine would stand. Ihor's life was cut short at the front line when he was killed by Russia in the spring of 2023.
