Summary

Russia's large-scale invasion on the 24th of February 2022 once again made Ukraine the focus of world media. Behind those headlines remain the complex developments in Ukraine's history, national identity, culture and society. Addressing readers from diverse backgrounds, this volume approaches the history of Ukraine and its people through primary sources, from the early modern period to the present. Each document is followed by an essay written by an expert on the period, and a conversational piece touching on the ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine. In this ground-breaking collection, Ukraine's history is sensitively accounted for by scholars inviting the readers to revisit the country's history and culture.
With a foreword by Olesya Khromeychuk.

    A compelling call to rediscover the transformative power of art in an age of distraction, coercion, and spectacle – featuring an introduction from Pulitzer Prize–winning author Donna Tartt In Reclaiming Art in the Age of Artifice, J. F. Martel offers a compelling and incisive meditation on the nature of art in a world dominated by invasive media, rampant consumer culture, and artificial intelligence. Drawing on a wide range of examples, from Paleolithic cave art to contemporary cinema, Martel argues that true art reveals the unseen forces shaping our existence—forces that transcend politics, technology, and even culture. In contrast to artifice, which seeks to manipulate or distract, authentic art calls us back to the essence of things, opening “rifts” onto the sublime and the weird and reconnecting us with the radical mystery at the heart of the world.    Featuring an introduction by Pulitzer Prize–winning author Donna Tartt, this edition also includes a new afterword by the author, reflecting on the continued relevance of art in our increasingly mediated world.

    This book contains the following four titles: 
    - The Cereal Killer: The invention of breakfast cereal marked a turning point in modern eating habits, blending health-conscious innovation with industrial progress. During the late 19th century, many Americans consumed heavy, meat-based breakfasts, which were criticized by health reformers for contributing to widespread digestive issues and lethargy. It was against this backdrop that breakfast cereal was born—a light, convenient, and nutritious alternative that would revolutionize morning meals. 
    - The Millennial Methuselah: The story of the woman destined for a millennium begins in an unassuming town, far removed from the glare of the modern world. Born in an era where tradition met the dawn of technological innovation, her arrival into the world was marked by a profound sense of wonder. Family and friends often recalled the unusual calmness that surrounded her birth, as if the universe had whispered its secrets into her soul. 
    - Perplexing Passings: Unsolved mysteries hold a unique and enduring fascination, inviting us into a world where questions linger and definitive answers seem perpetually out of reach. These enigmas, spanning unexplained deaths, puzzling disappearances, and baffling phenomena, captivate our imagination by defying the order and logic we strive to impose on life. Each unresolved case becomes more than a story; it transforms into a puzzle that teases the intellect and stirs the emotions. 
    - The Unreachable Riches: Throughout history, the allure of hidden treasure has captured the human imagination like few other pursuits. Tales of vast riches buried beneath shifting sands, concealed within uncharted jungles, or locked away in remote mountain fortresses have been passed down through generations.
