This is an automatically translated description

Vasyl Stefanyk's novels are rightly attributed to Ukrainian expressionism. They strike with their truthfulness, social acuity and extraordinary psychology. The plight of ordinary peasants, the theme of mother and child, the problem of lonely old age and poverty are depicted in the writer's novels in a subtle and touching way. «How short, strong and terrible this man writes,» - this is how Maxim Gorky described his impressions of reading the novel «News». It seems difficult to say more accurately about the work of Vasyl Stefanyk. His novellas "The Stone Cross", "Sons", "Maria", etc. became real masterpieces.
