about
Lesya Ukrainka's personal struggle for spiritual survival more than 100 years ago resonates starkly with the fight for survival of the whole of Ukraine today.
Hope Against Hope (Contra Spem Spero) is a poem of inner fragility, resilience and strength of the human spirit; finding a will to live a meaningful life in the face of bleak hopelessness.
Translated into English by Maureen Thomas and Kariina Gretere.
