La vida en el límite : Ser ucraniano hoy

“Since February 24, 2022, for millions of Ukrainians, time has completely broken down. We have been thrown onto the shore of a new reality and are learning to breathe again.” War shakes the most fundamental categories of existence: our relationship with time and space, with beauty and love, with home and with death. This book, a hybrid of chronicle and essay, revolves around concepts such as these. Tetyana Ogarkova and Volodymyr Yermolenko draw on testimonies gathered at the front, as well as their profound knowledge of Ukrainian history and culture, to offer the reader a moving account of what it means to be Ukrainian today. Written jointly by two of the most insightful voices in present-day Ukraine, Life on the Edge speaks to us of the devastation of the conflict but also reminds us of all that war fails to destroy: trust in others, memory, and the need for beauty.
