The Ukraine conveys to listeners a place that Chapeye and his countrymen are currently fighting for with their lives. The book features a preface by the author, which he composed on his phone from the front lines.

Ernst Scharrer (1925-2020) wurde in Nürnberg geboren und verbrachte die meiste Zeit seines Lebens in seiner fränkischen Heimat.

Die vorliegenden „Dialoge höherer Art“ aus Franken sind solch eine literarische Verschnaufpause, im überwiegend fränkischen Dialekt der Umgebung seiner Geburtsstadt.
