| Description | The search for self-identification in Ukrainian literature is always closely intertwined with the search for national identity and the constant search for one's own home, which we have seen especially in the prose of recent years (since 2013/2014). However, this issue occurring in the Ukrainian novel can be divided into three key groups: 1. searching for his identity in a difficult period of war (eg Serhiy Zhadan Boarding School, 2017), 2. returning to the past to reconsider the present (novels by Natalka Snadanko Vilém, 2017 and Tetjana Maljarčuk Zapomenutí, 2016). The last possibility to search for your identity is the third group - the prose of places and cities. Examples include Victoria Amelina's novel House for Home (2017), which seeks to find love for a foreign city, a collection of short stories by Kateryna Kalytko, The Land of the Lost, or a small scary fairy tale (2017) that introduces you to the stories of homeless people and the state. , a novel by Ivan Kozlenek Tangier (2017) revealing all the secrets of the city of Odessa and a book by Markijan Kamys Čormet (2017) telling the story of people whose livelihoods depend on a miserable and ugly place to live. This includes Maxym Dupešek's book A Story of Dignity of the Entire Apple Orchard (2017), which is the subject of this study. He will primarily deal with the prose of places and cities because the city can become an integral part of man, his perception of the world and the formation of his views, and a writer representing his national literature with his characters can reflect the conscience, nervousness and restlessness of his generation. and the nation in today's uncertain times. |
