And there are Ukrainian books here.
Many childrens books, fiction books for different tastes, education and psychology.
However, war literature occupies a special place, telling of the difficult experiences of Ukrainians in dark times.
Our book not only represents Ukraine but also highlights its struggles and tells the story of heroic resistance.
The world needs to know more about the phenomenon of people who continue to fight for their freedom.

On the eve of the New Year, Babylon Library, a Ukrainian publishing house, released the book My War by Valerii Zaluzhnyi.
In his biography, Zaluzhnyi recounts his childhood in the town of Zviahel in Zhytomy Oblast, his time at a military school, his experience in the Donbas War in 2015, and, ultimately, the fullscale invasion.
