Ukraine in wartime: a new literary collection

Book cover for After The Third Bell

A new anthology of wartime stories by Ukrainian authors is launched today at the University of Edinburgh. The collection brings together stories of people’s lives influenced by the war, authored by some of Ukraine’s most well-known contemporary writers alongside diaries by ordinary people caught up in the current conflict.

Published by the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH) at the University of Edinburgh, After The Third Bell has been translated by the Ukrainian-Russian translator appearing here under the pseudonym E.M.
