Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Kobzar of the Ukraine" by Taras Shevchenko is a collection of poems first published in 1840 in Saint Petersburg. This groundbreaking work introduced eight poems that would transform Shevchenko into a symbol of Ukrainian national and literary revival. The collection faced fierce tsarist censorship—banned, confiscated, and nearly destroyed after the poet's 1847 arrest. Despite persecution, copies survived through secret manuscript transcriptions, preserving these powerful verses that defined a nation's cultural identity and earned Shevchenko his enduring nickname: The Kobzar.
