- The work consists of an introduction and ten essays that both reflect the author’s extensive research interests and testify to her extremely rich and multi-coloured personality. It should also be noted that the discussed collection of studies by T. Chynczewska-Hennel in the vast majority was already rated very positively by American, Canadian, Italian, French, and Ukrainian historians, as it consists of articles that previously appeared in foreign publications. The essays presented in this book offer a highly focused overview of the numerous problems which were at the centre of Chynczewska’s scientific interests and which were thoroughly and clearly examined in her books. They also offer shining evidence of the author’s constant ethical engagement, her tireless search for the many points of contact between cultures and narratives which were opposed by cynical political goals, human envy, thirst for power, as well as by the inability of numerous leaders and social groups to look for genuine human values and interests that should have overridden their own egoism and the short-term interests of a specific group or class in the near-sighted “here and now”. To sum up, it should be noted that the reviewed work is not only of high scientific value but also intellectually inspiring. Other values of the book that should be highlighted here are, on the one hand, easier access to the author’s sometimes difficult to obtain texts and, on the other, the ability to accurately trace her extremely accurate insights on various issues.
