b. Read some reviews. Which of the books from ex. 2a does each of them describe?

1. It was written by an outstanding Belarusian writer, whose books about the hardships of war were admired by millions of readers in Belarus and worldwide. The book is set in October 1941 at the railway crossing. The main characters are six soldiers, who must stop the Germans while the battalion is retreating (отступает / адступае). The soldiers come from very different backgrounds but have to fight together defending their Motherland. At the critical moment, they reveal their true nature. The book conveys a powerful message: in the context of war people are ready to sacrifice (жертвовать / ахвяраваць) their lives for their country.

2. It is about a nobleman (дворянин / дваранін, шляхціц) who lives on the shore of a lake. In winter it turns into a road and travellers take a shortcut across it. Most of them see a welcoming candlelight in the window, and pay for a warm bed, supper and straw for horses by telling stories. The stories could be a great source of inspiration for a Hollywood horror film but the book is not only about entertainment. The author depicts traditions and lifestyles of people from different backgrounds. The book raises questions of moral beliefs and values, which are becoming even more important nowadays.

3. People sometimes compare this author to Homer. Indeed, we can draw parallels between this book and “The Odyssey”. It is a story about a traveller and a kind-hearted musician, who, like Odysseus [əˈdɪsju:s], often gets into trouble until he finally reaches his goal: freedom of creation. The poem ends with the main character falling asleep on the grave (могиле / магіле) of his beloved girl Hanna. In 1925, the author changed the ending: the main character wakes up, plays his violin and raises his sweetheart from the dead. The author communicates an inspirational message that art and beauty are able to revive (возродить / адрадзіць) the country. The poem is so popular in Belarus that a monument to its main characters was put on in Yakub Kolas square in Minsk.

to inspire (v.) – inspiration (n.) – inspirational (adj.)

4. It is a masterpiece of Belarusian fantasy and a real page-turner. This trilogy depicts the adventures of two hilarious characters. They spend their fortune and have to find a new way of making money. They grow turnip (репа / рэпа), sit on eggs, go to war, and fight Tsmoki. The book is full of irony and allegories and creates a unique memorable a bit illogical atmosphere of fairy tales. The book will definitely enrich your vocabulary of the Belarusian language with some old-fashioned and already forgotten words and modern slang. The book will appeal both to children and adults. A great read for a gloomy (мрачный / пахмурны) autumn afternoon in a company of friends, but not before bedtime.
