A Harvest Truce : A Play, Hardback Book

A Harvest Truce : A Play Hardback

Part of the Harvard Library of Ukrainian Literature series

Hardback

Pre-Order

Description

Brothers Anton and Tolik reunite at their family home to bury their recently deceased mother.

An otherwise natural ritual unfolds under extraordinary circumstances: their house is on the front line of a war ignited by Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine.

Isolated without power or running water, the brothers’ best hope for success and survival lies in the declared cease fire—the harvest truce.

But such hopes are swiftly dashed, as it becomes apparent that the conflagration of war will not abate. With echoes of Waiting for Godot, Serhiy Zhadan’s A Harvest Truce stages a tragicomedy in which the commonplace experiences of death, birth, and the cycles of life marked by the practices of growing and harvesting food are rendered futile and farcical in the wake of the indifferent juggernaut of war.
