Equally active as a journalist, political leader, poet and writer, Ivan Bahriany was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1963. He is best known for his outstanding and popular work Tyhrolovy, which was first published in Lviv, Ukraine, in 1944. It has been translated into many foreign languages, including English, French, Danish and German. On account of his writings, he was imprisoned during the communist regime, and sent to a concentration camp from which he escaped and eventually returned home, only to be rearrested. His novels draw on his experiences as an exile and a political prisoner.
