“From Above Down” and “To Speak” — two landmark books by Tanya Malyarchuk Contemporary Ukrainian literature continues to impress with its depth and psychological power. A special place among authors belongs to Tanya Malyarchuk — a writer whose works have repeatedly become bestsellers and received literary awards. The Modern Classics series presents two of her important novels — From Above Down and To Speak, each offering a unique experience to the reader.

From Above Down: a journey to oneself through mountain solitude In this novel, Tanya Malyarchuk transports the reader to the deep Carpathians. The main character retreats to a remote cabin to find solitude, reflect on her life, and seek peace. But mountain silence brings not only calm but also new questions. The mysticism of nature, local legends, and the heroine’s personal memories create a rich emotional tapestry. Reality gradually fades, opening the door to inner chaos and the search for the true self.

To Speak: an ironic mosaic of stories To Speak is a text about the power of words, thought, and human imagination. In a fragmented structure, Tanya Malyarchuk masterfully combines the absurd with the deeply philosophical. Imagined episodes intertwine with scenes from ordinary life and the author’s reflections on everyday matters, death, and love. The book prompts readers to reflect on how we formulate and perceive our reality through language.
