Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Ukrainian literature is literature written in the Ukrainian language. Ukrainian literature had a difficult development because, due to constant foreign domination over Ukrainian territories, there was often a significant difference between the spoken and written language. At times the use of the Ukrainian language was even partly prohibited to be printed. However, these foreigners, including Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Russia, Austria-Hungary, and Ottoman Turkey, have left behind a legacy of new words, greatly enriching the Ukrainian language. And despite many repressions, Ukraine has a rich literary heritage having produced many notable authors. A significant work was the translated version of the Bible, the Ostrog Bible, printed in 1581. It was the first complete printed edition of the Bible in Old Church Slavonic. The publishing of it initiated by the Ostrogsky family helped the Orthodox Church resist strong Roman Catholic pressures that was the major religion in the Polish State.
