    About this ebook

    The book contains:
    A short ethnographic note depicting some traditions of Ukrainian Zaporozhian Cossacks written down around 1843.
    Preface to an unpublished edition of "Kobzar,” the publication of which was prevented by Shevchenko's arrest in  1847.
     A short recollection about Taras Shevchenko time as a student in  Petersburg Academy of Arts and his friendship with the fellow student  Vasily Shternberg.
    A short autobiography of Taras Shevchenko, written in the third person, unfinished.
    Letter of T.Hr. Shevchenko to the editor of the “People's Reading. The “Letter” is yet another autobiography of Shevchenko, based on the unfinished draft. It was written to raise the public awareness to the fact that his brothers and sister remained serfs and that their owner, landlord  Fliorkovsky, refused to set them free. This autobiography was heavily edited due to the censorship and published in 1860.
    All the notes are quite short. Some readers may find it difficult to read the preface and the autobiographies because they include a lot of information about prominent people of Shevchenko's era and many historical facts, now obscure. There are abundant translator's footnotes to clarify them. Reading through the first autobiography will make it easier to understand the second.
    A note on  Ukrainian Zaporozhian Cossacks and a recollection about Taras Shevchenko student  years in the Academy of Arts are also footnoted but are, on the whole, an easy read.

    Taras Shevchenko

    Тарас Григорович Шевченко (1814 - 1861) - видатний поет, художник. Народився 9 березня 1814 року в Київській губернії в селі Моринці. Спочатку Шевченко втратив матір, потім в 1825 році помер батько. Так почалася його важке, суворе життя. Незабаром він навчився грамоті, став потроху малювати. У 1829 році почав служити у поміщика Енгельгардта. У Вільні (Вільнюсі) в біографії Тараса Шевченка проходило навчання у викладача університету Рустема. У 1840 році почався найбільш плідний у житті поета період. Вийшла збірка «Кобзар» Шевченка, були написані кілька найвідоміших його творів («Гайдамаки», «Катерина», «Хусточка», «Наймичка»). Вірші Шевченка були сприйняті критиками негативно, зате були близькі народу. Як художник, Шевченко також не переставав творити. Ним був створений ряд картин у дусі критичного реалізму (наприклад, «Катерина»). Після зближення з київським Кирило-Мефодіївським товариством, його заарештували. Потім в біографії Шевченка послідувало заслання до Орської фортеці Оренбурзької області. Йому заборонили писати, малювати, що було дуже важко для творчої людини. Після експедиції на Аральське море, Шевченка перевели до Новопетровського, де він перебував до 1857 року. Там було написано кілька Повістей: «Художник», «Княгиня» та інші. Звільнившись (головним чином завдяки графу Ф.П. Толстому), повернувся до Петербурга. В останні роки в біографії Шевченка було створено мало віршів, картин. 26 лютого 1861 великий поет помер. Пам'ятники Шевченку встановлено не тільки на території України, а також у Росії, США, Парагваї, Франції.
