The British Millennium Library project was created on the basis of a reissue of the renowned Everyman’s Library series: 251 volumes (233 titles) of classical literature translated into English, as well as works representing the English literary tradition from all historical periods.
The Millennium Library includes works by many of the world’s most distinguished authors, from Shakespeare, Dante, Homer, and Rabelais to Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Balzac, and Zola.
The publishers also included some of humanity’s most important works of human wisdom and spiritual heritage, such as the Hindu Scriptures, the Quran, and the Bible. The series features masterpieces of English literature, including Shakespeare’s Sonnets, Charles Dickens’s Bleak House and Great Expectations, Keats’s Poems, and George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four.
Russian literature is represented by Pushkin’s The Captain’s Daughter, Lermontov’s A Hero of Our Time, Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov, Demons, and Crime and Punishment, Goncharov’s Oblomov, Turgenev’s Fathers and Sons, Bulgakov’s The Master and Margarita, Pasternak’s Doctor Zhivago, and many other notable works.
In 2001, the Scientific Library of NaUKMA, together with sixty other libraries across Ukraine, received this collection as a gift from the British Council in Ukraine.
The collection is fully represented in the Library’s Electronic Catalogue.
