Taras Gregoriovich Shevchenko

“Dig my grave and raise my barrow
A fair land and wide” (Taras G. Shevchenko,www.infoukes.com)
Taras Gregorievich Shevchenko (1814-1861) is one of the greatest Ukrainian poets and painters. He is deeply bellowed by Ukrainians for his patriotism to the country. Schevchenko’s poetry is nation wide and was translated in different languages. He was one of the first Ukrainian poets who came from a poor family of serfs and
became a famous writer and artist. Taras Shevchenko was a person who was asking for the freedom for his country for many years in his poetry and art peaces. Because of the inexhaustible emotional energy of his poetry, because of his deep compassion for the sufferings of others, Schevchenko will always remain in people’s hearts. In this paper I will describe his life from his childhood to the adulthood, and give examples of his work and stories on which those poems were written.
Taras Gregorievich Schevchenko was born on March 9, 1814 in

Schevchenko put his hopes for better life and soul in his work. He left a mark in Ukrainian history as a founder of Ukrainian literature. Taras’s peaces were an inspiration for all major Ukrainian writers before the October Revolution. Schevchenko’s influence is evident also in Russian, Byelorussian and Polish literatures. But part from this influence on his own and other literatures, the legacy he left behind him has been a conclusive factor in the life of Ukraine and its neighbors and their struggle for freedom. Schevchenko raised up the tired nation and made them to believe that one-day, they are not going to be discriminated and will get back their freedom.

I know nothing of God.” (T.G.Schevchenko,www.infoukes.com)

Schevchenko died, but his work was still alive in the hearts of many Ukrainians. Ukrainian nation could never forget his most famous peaces like: “ Haydamaks”, “The Epistle”, and “Zapovit”. Those poems are different, but all of them express author’s enormous love towards his country.
