A beautiful colaboration between two well-known names in the Ukrainian emigre circles of the mid-20th century, the book was written by author, linguist, educator, and editor Vasyl Chaplenko, also known as Vasyl Chaplia (1900 - 1990). After escaping Ukraine and entering a DP camp in Germany in 1945 (?), he taught Linguistics and Ukrainian at the Institute of Modern Languages in Augsburg and was the editor of the emigre journal "Nashe zhyttia." After emigrating to the US in the early 1950s, he actively contributed to various magazines and wrote numerous articles, studies, and books on Ukrainian politics, literature, and liguistics and served as the Chairman and Professor at the Ukrainian Technical Institute of New York. The cover art of the book was created by Sviatoslav Hordynskyi (1906 - 1993) - renowned artist, graphic designer, poet, translator, literary scholar, and member of the Shevchenko Scientific Society and the Ukrainian Academy of Arts and Sciences. After emigrating to the US in 1947, he was one of the co-founders of the Ukrainian Artists' Association in the USA and one of its first presidents. During his later life he painted over 50 churches throughout Europe and the US. Very good .
