THE RETURN OF A WARRIOR AND A LOVER (notes of the Ukrainian translator on the Diary about Čarnojević)

Summary/Abstract: A new (better?) century has come, and Čarnojević has returned to Galicia. In 2015 in Lviv, published by IK Pyramid, a Ukrainian translation of the first novel by Miloš Crnjanski appeared. That was also the first special edition of this writer’s work in the Ukrainian and the first translation of the Dairy about Čarnojević into an East Slavic language.1 Literature has traced the return of a tired warrior home several times, but Čarnojević, independent as well as his writer, returned to the battlefield. Twice in the novel he experienced the return to his homeland, and it was never happy: he lost his mother, and did not return to his wife. And what would it be to come again where he met Lusja, where the stars used to fall in front of him and the Polish girl? Who knows. He returned to the ruddy forests in his painful dreams about the war, and now he returned to Galicia to say (this time in Ukrainian): I want to tell you stories.
