What if you actually made progress in Ukrainian by reading a masterpiece — no dictionary, no effort, no giving up?

This book is a bilingual edition: it contains the complete novel in Ukrainian AND in English, together in the same volume. You read Ukrainian; English is right there to help you.

Why a bilingual book? Unlike apps and textbooks, you learn with a real story that makes you want to turn the page. It is the most natural immersion method there is.

— THE METHOD —

Ordinary bilingual editions make you lose the thread: the Ukrainian text on the left, the English text on the right, and your eyes darting back and forth hunting for the right line. The result: you give up in the first few pages.

Polyglot Publishing invented something else: synchronised line-by-line alternation. Every sentence in Ukrainian is immediately followed by its English translation — like subtitles, but on paper.

• Understand everything, instantly — the meaning of each word is checked at a glance, with no dictionary and no phone
• Improve without noticing — your brain links the two languages unconsciously, sentence after sentence, and Ukrainian grammar sinks in naturally
• Learn Ukrainian by finally reading what you love — a real novel, not textbook dialogue

Suitable for every level: the translation helps when you need it — and never gets in the way of your reading.
