CHARMING RECORDING OF CHILDREN’S SONGS One of the most charming record ings of children’s songs on the mar ket is called “Kaehecka-praichechka.” The record was introduced in Toron to, Canada by Professor I. Kolaska. According to Professor Kolaska, there is an interesting story con cerning the songs and artists of the r >cord. It seems that when Profes sor Kolaska was leaving on a trip to U’traine, he was asked to research ar.d bring back with him Ukrainian so ngs for children. However there was nothing on the market. But be- in l resourceful, the Professor per- siiaded several “individuals to release tci him tapes from their private col lections, together with the names of the artists. The songs he reitaped arid was successful in sending to Canada, but the names of the ar tists and composer weire lost. The record is a wonderfully gay collection of songs that children de light in listening to. The performers are children of all ages. Each song is accompanied either by an orchestra or piano. The songs are easily learn ed, and one finds listening children quickly joining in the singing. There are 21 songs altogether. For anyone interested, the record may be purchased in all Ukrainian bookstores. Should they not have it, the record may be ordered. Please write to: Ukrainian Children’s Rec ords, P. O. Box 105, Postal Station M, 2393 Bloor Street W, Toronto 9, Ontario. The price of the record is $5. What to Read by Marty Gonchar ( i.e. Honchar), Oles. THE CYCLONE, Moscow, Prog ress. Publishers, 1972. 321 p (Soviet novels series). Oles Honchar, one of the fore most writers of contemporary Ukraine, has gained fame both in the Soviet Union and abroad. For his novel Tronka he was awarded the Lenin prize, the highest honor that can be be stowed on a Soviet writer. In the Ukrainian community abroad, on the other hand., Oles Honchar is best known for his novel So- bor — a work which was severe ly criticized in the USSR and which is nowadays not included in Soviet editions of Honchar's “collected works.” The Cyclone is Honchar’s most recent novel and the first of his works to appear in an English translation. The plot concerns a crew of filmmakers who — while shooting a film about the tragic years of war and occupa tion — are overtaken by a disas trous cyclone in the Carpathian- ian mountains. The novel is a ve hicle for the author to express — both overtly and symbolically some of his basic philosophy, his ideas on art and life; on truth and beauty. The Cyclone’s finest chapters are those devoted to the natural calamity in the moun tains and the human struggle for survival. The work can cer tainly be ranked among Hon char’s better novels. The poor translation, however, detracts considerably from the book’s readibility. The Cyclone was pub lished in Moscow, by a Soviet publishing house, and the trans lator or translators remain un named. Contrary to internation al practice there is no general 20 НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ — ЖОВТЕНЬ, 1974 Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році . A рхів C У A - Ню Йорк , Н .
