This is an automatically translated description

She is considered an iconic figure in Ukrainian culture, with not only streets but also an asteroid named after her. She initiated the creation of the Pleiades literary circle, spoke seven languages, and introduced the word "ray" into Ukrainian. She wrote not only brilliant poems and dramas, but also prose. She is Larysa Kosach, known as Lesia Ukrainka."

"It was easy for me to take the literary path because I come from a literary family," the writer herself recalled. At family evenings, the Kosach family often played literary games. This is how "The Sandwich" appeared, which later became the basis for Lesia Ukrainka's greatest story "Regret". Or "The City of Sadness", which was born after the author's observations of the mentally ill during a visit to her uncle, the head of a psychiatric hospital. Lesya Ukrainka's experiments with genres and plots are no less interesting.

The presented selection includes more than twenty prose works from different periods. In particular, the children's "Butterfly" and "Trouble Will Teach," the realistic "School" and "Such is Her Fate," the neo-romantic "Loud Strings" and "Mistake. Thoughts of an Arrested Man", "Over the Sea" sounds in the favourite "from the author" manner; there are also several unfinished essays, such as "And yet come!", "Loner" or the last work of the writer "Ekbal-ganem"...
