The spine has slight creasing, but there are no major defects beyond typical wear, suggesting the need for careful handling.In his works, Yakymchuk artfully wove words and phrases from ancient Ukraine, embracing a linguistic style that diverged from conventional norms. His unorthodox language and departure from standard spelling drew considerable criticism from his contemporaries. In defense of his mythological-religious vision, Yakymchuk penned the satirical piece "Nedorechniky" [Nonsense-Makers]. His enduring legacy is one of profound philosophical musings, mythological echoes, and symbolic imagery deeply intertwined with nature. Through the lens of these mythological symbols, Yakymchuk crafted a collective portrait of the proto-Ukrainians, suggesting that their actions and earthly existence were guided by a Scythian-Sarmatian Ukrainian theophany.
