This is an automatically translated description

The novels by Vasyl Stefanyk are rightly attributed to Ukrainian expressionism. They are striking in 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 briefly, strongly and terribly this man writes," is how Maxim Gorky described his impressions of reading the short story "News". It seems difficult to say more accurately about the work of Vasyl Stefanyk. His novels "The Stone Cross", "Sons", "Maria", etc. became real masterpieces.
