Owwa! Ukraine for the inquisitive

The ninth volume of the series A world for the inquisitive will take you on a fascinating journey through Ukraine. Free, independent and complete - the kind we hope to visit soon, as soon as the war ends.

Ukraine is the largest of our neighbors, and Ukrainians and Ukrainian women are our friends. We can hear the Ukrainian language everywhere: in the shop, at school, on the playground. And we understand a lot - after all, we have as much as seventy percent of the common vocabulary. But do we really know this country?

Famous steppes and bear-shaped mountain. Cossacks and embroidered shirts. The world's deepest metro station and astronomical observatory in the heart of the Carpathians. And all this in Ukraine? Owwa! Oh gosh!

In this book you will check what the Crimean Mountains smell like, why the Black Sea is black and how much the heaviest airplane in the world weighed. You will watch Ukrainian carollers in action and you will find out how much the road has in common with the holes in the asphalt. You will look into the Odessa catacombs and face the niawks and the Wij. But you will also learn why the Russian authorities do not call the war they caused a war, and why Ukrainians have to fight for their country today.

Series A world for the inquisitive presents the culture of different countries: it tells about places, characters, monuments, dishes and concepts that almost everyone has heard about, but few really know the stories behind them - as well as less known ones that are worth knowing.
The book is under the honorary patronage of the President of the Capital City of Warsaw.
