Dr. Leonardo’s Journey to Sloboda Switzerland with His Future Lover, the Beautiful Alcesta

A novel of exuberance and whim—filled with witty asides and unrestrained digressions—that deconstructs the very principles of writing and estranges everyday phenomena, Dr. Leonardo’s Journey marks the highpoint of Ukrainian modernism before Stalin’s repressions. Presented here in a contemporary, deft English translation, the novel is a must read.

Un roman de exuberanta si capriciu -- plin de dezamagiri pline de spirit si de digresiuni neingradite -- care deconstruieste insesi principiile scrisului si instraineaza fenomenele cotidiene, Calatoria doctorului Leonardo marcheaza punctul culminant al modernismului ucrainean inainte de represiunile lui Stalin.
