520 $aIn these two novellas, Volodymyr Dibrova - one of the best prose writers in Ukraine today - tells the story of how the Soviet system was sustained by individuals who never truly chose to support it but simply lacked the courage to oppose it.
520 8 $aPeltse portrays the formation of an average apparatchik. Both funny and alarming, the novella provides an incisive psychological portrait of an individual trapped in a system he simultaneously dislikes and depends on for survival. Pentameron tells the story of one day in the life of five colleagues working in a Soviet research institute. Each is dissatisfied with his or her lot in life and dreams of escaping. Yet all are trapped in and by a system that has taken away their ability to act decisively.
520 8 $aA piercing study, Pentameron reveals the myths, superstitions, and predicament of a large segment of Soviet Ukrainian society.
