About This Book The focus of the new novel by Halyna Pahutyak, probably the most mysterious modern Ukrainian writer, is on the bizarre fate of the Ukrainian humanist, diplomat, poet, essayist and publisher of the 17th century - Jan Shchasny Herburt from Dobromyl, told from the perspective of a stray Volynian nobleman, who can look into the future, but only into his own one. This is not a biography but a spark passing between the Renaissance and the Baroque, only a shadow of the man, who has no less lost than won.
The writer wants to look beyond the boundaries of human consciousness in order to understand the marginal conditions of human existence.
