See You in Hell Wojciech Pestka
Collected essays of Wojciech Pestka in an interesting and comprehensive way tell their potential Ukrainian readers about the existence of the inhabitants of Central and Eastern Europe who were deeply rooted in political and cultural tradition of I Rzeczpospolita (Republic of Nobles), but suffered greatly in times of totalitarian regimes in XX century. These brilliant essays are among the best samples of Polish school of reportage. They dwell upon topical themes that circulate in present Ukrainian public opinion and simultaneously they show human fate through the prism of national and ethnic relations, creative achievements and specific cultural patterns. This book will be interesting to the Ukrainians also because it dethrones a chain of authoritarian myths, in particular, originated by stalinist and neostalinist discourses on the territory of post-soviet independent countries. The stories by W. Pestka mainly concerns the destiny of people still living on the land of modern Ukraine (Drohobych, Lviv, Kremenets etc.) and that is one more factor that incite our publishing house to present the book into Ukrainian book-market.
