A Belarus Miscellany
Belarusian Literature
Reviews and Links
Ever since the birth of the first pages about Belarusian Literature in 1995-1996, the number of such pages has grown significantly. And so in 1999 we have faced a necessity of creating this portal page that would list the WWW resources on the Belarusian Literature. Below are the links to some of our reviews, on-line archives and other Internet resources related to the Belarusian Literature. Some of the pages are written in Cyrillic encoding.
December 3, 2007 is a Centennial Anniversary of Belarusian poet and Diaspora leader Ryhor Krushyna. We have created a page about Ryhor Krushyna based on materials provided to us by his son Ihar Kazak.
This page by Andrus' Zhvir and his team is carrying an entire on-line archive of the Belarusian books of both poetry and prose. It has the list of recent Belarusian Literary events and forums.
