Mike Johansen. The best works (Hörbuch (Download))

Mike Johansen is a Ukrainian poet, novelist of the era of the "Shooted Revival". Also translator, critic, linguist, screenwriter. One of the founders of the VAPLITE literary association.
At the beginning of his creative career, the young poet was characterized by the motif of dreamy "islands of clouds", which Oleksandr Biletskyi called "late romanticism". That stormy day quickly "remagnetized" Johansen. Full of hopes for national and social renewal, the poet published the collection "D'hori" (1921), in one of the chapters of which - "Skoro forte" - he recreated the days of revolution and civil war with poetic means in high heroic tones.
Turning to folklore sources, Johansen reinterprets them in the light of Renaissance ideas (collection "Stepping Circle", 1923). The poetry collection "Yasen" (1929), which appeared after the books "Revolution" (1923) and "Dorobok" (1924), revealed a new quality of Johansen's creative searches: from the spontaneous revolutionary nature of a young Ukrainian intellectual in the early period of his work, the writer evolves in the direction of " romances of the pure word". The evolution of the poet and his lyrical hero followed the line of romanticizing everyday, living, contradictory reality, which in its own way affirmed the "romance of everyday life."
