Our love for books translates into action. We have become co-founders of a publishing house, initiated the publication of new works from contemporary Ukrainian and international authors, and have reintroduced reading into our daily routine, inspiring those around us to do the same.

During a panel discussion at the "Book Country" festival, Maryan Martynyuk shared insights on the literature he personally chooses, the books he enjoys gifting, his significant experience translating West Galician Code, and the idea that led to the founding of the Babylonian Library publishing house.

Maryan also spoke about the books that make up his personal top picks.

An interesting trend he highlighted is the culture of book exchanges within the business community — something he mentioned while discussing Omeljan Pritsak’s book "Return to Ukraine", which was gifted to him by Lev Zhydenko from Avrora Multimarket.

We extend our thanks to MEGOGO BOOKS for hosting this discussion. We left deeply inspired by the atmosphere and scale of the "Book Country" festival. It’s truly heartening to see so many people passionate about books.
