This is an automatically translated description

The novels of the anthology, like Arabian arabesques, create an incredibly variegated, yet harmoniously inspired pattern of themes, variations, ideas, and moods of fiction. The anthology "Arabesques" includes the best examples of Ukrainian short fiction of the first half of the twentieth century. Among them are works in the style of realism and modernism, prose poetry, examples of impressionism, psychological and symbolic short stories, and examples of novelised biographies, which were among the first in world literature to be written by Ukrainian artists. On the pages of this anthology, we will visit the shores of the Black and Azov Seas thanks to Lesia Ukrainka and the Dnipro Seagull, drive through Kononiv fields, look into the studios of artists, musicians, actors, and astronomers, learn about the difficult talent of migrants, lawyers, and prostitutes, and, together with the characters of N. Kobrynska's characters, we will meet people who are close in spirit, and together with M. Khvylovyi's characters we will try to observe how the author creates a novel.
