Each story is presented in both Ukrainian and English, creating an immersive yet accessible learning experience that bridges the gap between language study and literature appreciation. 
  The collection opens with Lewis Carroll's beloved "Alice in Wonderland" (Аліса в країні чудес), taking listeners through the whimsical adventures of Alice in a parallel Ukrainian-English narration. This is followed by L. Frank Baum's "The Wizard of Oz" (Чарівник країни Оз), where Dorothy's journey through the magical Land of Oz helps learners explore new vocabulary and expressions. The third story presents Aesop's classic fable "The Tortoise and the Hare" (Черепаха та Заєць), offering timeless wisdom while practicing essential language skills. 
  The middle section of the collection features two gripping Sherlock Holmes mysteries by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: "The Speckled Band" (Пістрява стрічка) and "The Engineer's Thumb" (Палець інженера).

Following these, listeners delve into history with "The Life of Julius Caesar" (Життя Юлія Цезаря), offering rich vocabulary related to leadership, politics, and ancient Rome. 
  The collection concludes with two fascinating historical narratives. "The First Moon Landing" (Перша посадка на Місяць) recounts humanity's greatest space achievement, while "The Silk Road" (Шовковий шлях) explores the ancient trade routes that connected East and West.

  Bye Bye I Love You - The Story...

  With our earliest utterances, we announce ourselves—and are recognized—as persons ready for social life. With our final ones, we mark where others must release us to death's embrace. In Bye Bye I Love You, linguist and author Michael Erard explores these phenomena, commonly called "first words" and "last words," uncovering their cultural, historical, and biological entanglements and honoring their deep private significance. Erard draws from personal, historical, and anthropological sources to provide a sense of the breadth of beliefs and practices about these phenomena across eras, religions, and cultures around the world. 
   
   
   
  What do babies' first words have in common? How do people really communicate at the end of life? In the first half of the book, Erard tells the story of first words in human development and evolution, and how the attention to children's early language—a modern phenomenon—arose. In the second half, he provides a groundbreaking overview of language at the end of life and the cultural conventions that surround it. Throughout he reveals the many parallels and asymmetries between first and last words and asks whether we might be able to use a linguistic understanding of end of life to discover what we truly want.
