Anthology of works by Ianka Kupala, one of the greatest Belarusian writers of the twentieth century. Though he was awarded the Order of Lenin in 1941 for his poetry collection "Ad sertsa" (From the Heart), he had always been regarded with some distrust by the government for his connections with anti-Soviet nationalist organizations. Kupala died mysteriously in 1942 in Moscow, falling down the stairwell of Hotel Moskva. Though his death was ruled an accident, there have been speculations he was killed by Stalin's agents.
