Today, two new books were presented in the regional center of Volyn. At the youth library, those present at the presentation were shown a collection of poems by Vasyl Martyniuk, a postgraduate student of Lesya Ukrainka Volyn State University, titled "My Beaten and Dried-Up Heart." As the author of the book writes about himself, at first poetry was a game for him, a hiding place from the cruel world and from himself. But it did not give Mr. Martyniuk the desired peace and comfort. This continued until Jesus Christ spoke to the author's heart: "I love you!" And it calmed down. Now Mr. Martyniuk and poetry are friends who glorify the Creator, the Savior and his great love. And at the Volyn Regional Scientific Library, another book presentation took place. Volyn writers and library experts were introduced to Iryna Levchanivska's new book "The Senator." The new book by Lutsk resident Iryna Levchanivska is a book of her memoirs in which she tells about the fate of her mother. As is known, Olena Levchanivska was the first to represent the interests of voters in the Senate of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. For this she had to pay cruelly – in 1940 she was shot by NKVD officers. "The Senator" is a joint project of the Ivano-Frankivsk foundation "Dzherelo" and the Lutsk publishing house "Nadstyrya".
