The greatest works of Ukrainian literature

Chipka learned from an early age what injustice is. When some have everything and others have nothing. When some people live in luxury, like masters, while others work hard to earn a piece of bread. He grew up without a father and lived with his mother and grandmother. He was called a devil, a fatherless child. Why? Why? These bitter questions haunted Chipka. He was not like the others. A strange dreamer with a keen sense of justice. But one day, life pushed him into bad company. Stepping on a crooked path, where would he end up? To the longed-for truth or inglorious destruction?

Life is like a stubble field: you can't go through it without pricking your feet.

Panas Mirny
