“Modern war” book cover
Illustrations for the book cover and endpaper pages of the short story collection entitled “Modern war” by Nina Fialko, published by "NK Bohdan" publishing house.
This book delves into challenging themes, particularly the experiences of children during wartime. My goal was to craft a cover that conveys a sense of a looming threat, while also offering a glimmer of hope for a brighter future for these children.
Book annotation:
“Children and war...
While many writers avoid this painful subject, Nina Fialko courageously crafted a series of short stories aiming to vividly portray both the events and the children caught in the whirlwind of war.
For some, the war barely grazed their lives, while for others, it inflicted deep moral wounds. Still, for a few, it became a test of their humanity.
This book isn't intended for children; rather, it offers an exploration of the experiences of children during wartime. Although primarily targeted at adult readers, it is equally appropriate for family reading.”
