Idea
A library is a collection of ebooks and texts, combined with a declared theme and a single idea. The idea behind the project is to strive to collect as many works of Ukrainian writing as possible, not simply as a random collection of texts from different times and authors, but against the backdrop of a holistic cultural and historical process, which would make it clear the unity, heredity and identity of Ukrainian literature, despite obvious gaps in the linguistic code and breaks in tradition. This is the background of the annals, chronicles and historical documents collected in the main section of the page — Chronicles.
