What will give us strength?

What will give us strength? To us as individuals, our families, the country, the world? Each of us has his own answer to this question, although in difficult times it may not work, and then it is so important to find explanations, advice, support, including in the minds of those we trust, those we listen to. In 2019-2020, Ukrainians needed additional sources of strength, because the war, uncertainty, political populism, added pandemic and global crisis. It is against the background of these events that the essays of twenty-five leading Ukrainian intellectuals on the focus of the Ukrainian PEN "What will give us strength?" Were born, which first appeared in Novoe Vremya.

Collected under one cover, these texts reflect a difficult period of challenges in the life of each individual and Ukraine in general. The answers offered by the authors will be a valuable guide for the reader, a motivational model, a guide - the special force with which we will go further.
