An epic novel by a Ukrainian-Canadian author, Illia Kiriak, about the Ukrainians in Alberta during the pre-Second World War period.
The "Sons of the Earth" trilogy is a unique, extensive, artistic and literary description of the Ukrainian settlements in western Canada in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Written by Illia Kiriak, a talented and authentic writer who moved to Canada in 1906 and experienced this new life firsthand. Having been at the centre of the new immigrants' life, Kiriak describes his characters as vividly and lovingly as only a masterful writer could.
In the novel, the dynamic development of events alternates with colourful, vivid and imaginative descriptions. It is especially rich in dialects, folklore idioms, expressions and sayings. The novel is also a priceless record of the Ukrainian language spoken by Rusyn immigrants from the former Habsburg (Austro-Hungarian) empire and the traditions these immigrants brought into their new lives.
