MASQUERADE (BARWIONE BRZEGI) W.UKRAIŃSKA

Olena Pchilka is actually Olga Dragomanova-Kosach. She is not only Lesya Ukrainka's mother, but also the mother of five other children. What's more, she is also an ethnographer, editor, public figure, educator, partner, as well as a wife, mother-in-law, grandmother... This is where her masquerade begins. The collection Masquerade is a whole gallery of characters who are searching for themselves, learning, traveling, working, loving, raising children. Or dreaming of getting married, afraid of physical relationships, forcing their husbands to do work they dislike for money. The author is always among them: she loves them, approves of them, sympathizes with them, despises them. Pchilka easily slips into different roles, speaks with different voices. And you are faced with a difficult task to recognize the author herself behind the masks of the bizarre masquerade called life. To recognize yourself in the heroes and heroines.
