In \u003cem\u003eThe All-Encompassing Eye of Ukraine\u003c\/em\u003e, Maxim Tarnawsky presents a thorough and much-needed reexamination of Nechui-Levyts'kyi and his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA solitary, modest man whose chief interest was in promoting and defending a Ukrainian identity threatened by the cultural policies of the Russian Empire, Levyts'kyi’s writing described Ukraine, its people, its culture, and the forces threatening it. A satirist who attacked modernism and cosmopolitanism, he wrote in a style marked by what Tarnawsky calls non-purposeful narration – slow-paced humour built on rhetorical finesse rather than on plot or character development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA vital reconsideration of a significant Ukrainian novelist written by the foremost expert on his work, \u003cem\u003eThe All-Encompassing Eye of Ukraine\u003c\/em\u003e deepens and expands our understanding of Ukraine’s nineteenth-century literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"By Maxim Tarnawsky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55075368436092,"sku":"9781442622197","price":70.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9781442622197.jpg?v=1743626486","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/the-all-encompassing-eye-of-ukraine-2","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
