„Не казися, вітре..., Гуляй собі, небоже, ...” (концепт „вітер” у „малій прозі” Василя Ткачука)
„Don’t Be Angry, My Wind... Be Merry,...” (The Concept of “Wind” in the “Short Stories” of Wasyl Tkaczuk)

Summary/Abstract: Wind, apart from the Sun, moon, clouds, frost or the sky, is one of the most important concepts presented by Wasyl Tkaczuk, a Ukrainian short story writer of the 1930s. The concept of wind functions in the system of other concepts, contents, which are embedded into the cultural and mental identity of the nation, as well as in the individual and authorial image of the world. The experiences of heroes are harmonized to the highest degree with the elements of the natural world. Therefore the reader can trace the „actions” of the wind, Sun, moon, clouds, frost or the sky along with the actions of the heroes. Exploring one of the major concepts in the prose of Wasyl Tkaczuk is all the more engaging that the little-known creative legacy of the short story writer still awaits its rightful place in the canon of Ukrainian literature.
