Ukrainian legends retold
Behold the fury is raging…
Under the glow of a burning red sky a fugitive from war learns of a malevolent serpent that once inhabited the caves outside Kyiv.
In the dark ages of Ukraine a charismatic tribal leader defies supernatural sacrificial rituals and counsels his people to live in unity and peace so that a nation can arise.
A cemetery in the old city of Khvastiv stirs as the ghostly Haidamaka people keep vigil every Easter, awaiting their promised liberator.
In medieval Vinnytsia a powerful and sadistic monk mutilates local women, invoking the fury of the tormented villagers.
On a quiet summer’s evening flickering lights reveal a mass gathering of pilgrims paying homage with a prayer and song at a life-giving sacred well.
A man returning to his homeland ravaged by Tsarism and the Bolshevik revolution visits the ruins of an ancient castle where treasure is said to be hidden for posterity, protected by ferocious flames.
‘Treasure of the Ages’ invites the reader into a mystical, ancient world but one that also reflects the harsh reality of the lives of ordinary Ukrainians during the turbulent times of the socialist revolution that the author Klym Polischuk lived through.
