The Statutes of the Great Duchy of 1529, 1566 and 1588, as well as polemic religious literature were all published in Old Belarusian language. They brought together a circle of writers, who were arguing for developing the Belarusian language and its literature (including Yanka Kupala, Maksim Bahdanovich, Źmitrok Biadula, Maksim Harecki, Yakub Kolas). After the end of the World War II, the key themes for the new Belarusian literature were war time experiences, the life of Belarusians in the Soviet Union and national history (in particular, novels by Ivan Melezh and Ivan Shamiakin). In 2015 Belarusian investigative journalist and prose writer Svetlana Alexievich was awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in Literature "for her polyphonic writings, a monument to suffering and courage in our time".[1][2] Famous Belarusian writers[edit] Belarusian and Polish writers[edit] Categories: Belarusian literature	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-2974.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-2974.txt
