Ihor Pavlyuk

Arthania Ihor Pavlyuk

Arthania is a personal prayer to God, which can be heard and read by people, and animals, and plants, and stars. New song rhythm forms and meanings are proposed in this book; the truth of author Ihor Pavlyuk's life (as a citizen of Ukraine, who lived and worked in many countries of the world) is consonant with all the people of the planet who can take the subtle energy they need from this book if they adequately catch the wave of his soul through an interpretation.

Within are themes of freedom, of the individual and society, the theme of love for nature, for the homeland, for one's parents, other people, the theme of freedom, orphanhood (the author grew up an orphan), the struggle for independence--all expressed in this autobiographical book in a poetic style. His life credo is expressed in this book with these words: "I am ready to live for ages and I am ready to die at every moment."
