Classic fiction (pre c 1945)
Aeneid
by Ivan Kotlyarevsky
Description
"Aeneid" is a Ukrainian burlesque-travesty poem written by the writer Ivan Kotlyarevsky, based on the plot of the classic poem of the same name by the Roman poet Virgil. It consists of six parts, in contrast to the twelve parts of Virgil. Written in four-foot iambic. The poem was written during the formation of romanticism and nationalism in Europe, against the background of nostalgia of the Ukrainian elite for the Cossack state, which was liquidated by Russia in 1775-1786. The Aeneid is the first large-scale monument of Ukrainian writing in the spoken Ukrainian language. The poem initiated the formation of modern Ukrainian literature.
