Suspense, humor, and a vivid journey through Ruthenia. Follow a traveler and his companion as they meet a gifted shepherd whose tall tale unfolds amid rain, race, and a village drama that tests loyalties and loves.

Two short chapters drift from a lively roadside encounter into a broad portrait of Ruthenian forests, aging traditions, and a landscape where old beliefs meet new loyalties. The narrative blends sharp dialogue, memorable characters, and quiet reflections on justice, fate, and the human heart.

- A dramatic village story told by a colorful shepherd, full of action and humor
- Vivid scenes of weather, terrain, and rustic life that ground the journey
- Moments of philosophy and humor as characters debate fate, love, and justice
- A window into Ruthenian culture and the shifting powers in a historic region

Ideal for readers who enjoy character-driven tales set against a richly drawn landscape, with thoughtful humor and moral questions woven through the plot.

Excerpt from Over the Hills of Ruthenia

And where is Ruthenia? It is in a curious position. The most solid bourgeois amongst us may at certain hours be visited by horrifying questions, which he never for the life of him would dream of making public and which ask - yes, ask - if he exists at all. Ruthenia is, of course, less justified to entertain such doubts; but sometimes, even when she hears the wind that murmurs in her million oaks or feels those great-horned oxen ploughing up the ruddy soil, she may remember with uneasiness that on the ordinary map of Europe there is no Ruthenia, albeit when you come to Eger, on the north-west frontier of the new Czecho-Slovak Republic, you will find a train of which one carriage goes to Užhorod, Ruthenia's capital.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Embark on an illuminating journey into the heart of Ruthenia, a small, often overlooked region nestled within the Carpathian Mountains. This book delves into the lives of the Ruthenian people, a Slavic minority grappling with their newfound independence after centuries of Hungarian and Jewish rule. The author's insightful observations shed light on the complexities of cultural identity, political autonomy, and the challenges of forging a national consciousness amidst illiteracy and economic hardship. Through vivid descriptions of daily life, customs, and interactions between Ruthenians, Czechs, Hungarians, and Jews, the book explores themes of tradition versus modernity, the legacy of oppression, and the resilience of the human spirit. As Ruthenia strives to establish its place on the map of Europe, the author's nuanced portrayal offers a poignant reflection on the universal struggle for self-determination and the enduring power of hope in the face of adversity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
