Two books — two perspectives, two eras, two voices speaking across the centuries. This set is more than history; it is national memory preserved in word and image.
The renowned historical essay History of Ukraine-Rus by Mykola Arkas, reproduced from the second Krakow edition of 1912 and featuring restored illustrations originally chosen by the author, is complemented by the monumental work Illustrated History of Ukraine by Mykhailo Hrushevsky, reprinted from the rare 1921 Vienna edition. Both texts retain their original orthography, carefully preserved to offer a genuine journey through time.
The bindings themselves are works of art: handmade from “Blue Galaxy” Italian velour leather by Bonaudo, adorned with blind embossing, gold foil stamping, and refined decorative elements. Gold-edged pages, Munken cream paper from Sweden, and the classic ribbon bookmark speak not only to the highest standards of bookmaking but also to the profound respect for the intellectual and cultural value of these masterpieces.
This set is more than a collector’s gem — it is a spiritual compass for anyone seeking truth in history and strength in national identity.
