Volodymyr Vynnychenko - Life Abroad

Life Abroad

Vynnychenko spent the following thirty years in Europe, residing in Germany in the 1920s, then moving to France. As an émigré, Vynnychenko resumed his career as a writer; in 1919 his writing was republished in an eleven volume edition in the 1920s. In 1934 Vynnychenko moved from Paris to Mougins, near Cannes, on the Mediterranean coast, where he lived on a homestead type residence as a self-supporting farmer and continued to write, notably a philosophical exposition of his ideas about happiness, Concordism. Vynnychenko called his place Zakoutok. He died in Mougins, near Cannes, France in 1951. Rosalia Lifshitz after her death passed the estate to some Ivanna Vynnykiv-Nyzhnyk (1912–1993), who emigrated to France after the World War II and lived with Vynnychenkos since 1948.

Famous quotes containing the word life:

    “If you are to judge a man, you must know his secret thoughts, sorrows, and feelings; to know merely the outward events of a man’s life would only serve to make a chronological table—a fool’s notion of history.”
    —Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

    “The ceaseless labor of your life is to build the house of death.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
