Abstract

en_US This little (4½ x 5¾) black book combines the fables and aphorisms of Gregory Savvich Skovoroda. Thirty fables are on 22-96. Apparently they are named after the area of Kharkiv, where the publishing house itself can be found. Skovoroda (1722-1794) was a Ukrainian philosopher, poet, teacher and composer who lived in the Russian Empire and who made important contributions to Russian philosophy and culture. He lived and worked in Ukraine and passionately and consciously identified with its people, differentiating them from those of Russia and condemning Russia's interference in his homeland. He has been referred to as the Russian Socrates. He led a life of an itinerant thinker-beggar. The visual art here includes two designs at the beginning of a fable, an initial, and a tailpiece. There are also several full-page illustrations. The pre-title page offers 1722 - 1972 and so signals the 250th anniversary of Skovoroda's birth. The lovely frontispiece shows him writing. The portrayal of him matches with the pictures one finds in online encyclopedias. Some library owned this book but whited out their information. O.R. Mazurkevyich seems to have had something to do with the production of this book.
