Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Masterfully fulfilled by Peter Fedynsky, Voice of America
journalist and expert on Ukrainian studies, this first ever English
translation of the complete Kobzar brings out Ukraine's rich
cultural heritage. As a foundational text, The Kobzar has played an
important role in galvanizing the Ukrainian identity and in the
development of Ukraine's written language and Ukrainian literature.
The first editions had been censored by the Russian czar, but the
book still made an enduring impact on Ukrainian culture. There is
no reliable count of how many editions of the book have been
published, but an official estimate made in 1976 put the figure in
Ukraine at 110 during the Soviet period alone. That figure does not
include Kobzars released before and after both in Ukraine and
abroad. A multitude of translations of Shevchenko's verse into
Slavic, Germanic and Romance languages, as well as Chinese,
Japanese, Bengali, and many others attest to his impact on world
culture as well. The poet is honored with more than 1250 monuments
in Ukraine, and at least 125 worldwide, including such capitals as
Washington, Ottawa, Buenos Aires, Warsaw, Moscow and Tashkent.
