The publication includes memoirs about the childhood and youth of Bohdan Lepkyi (1872-1941), a prominent Ukrainian poet, prose writer, translator, and scholar. They are usually called a trilogy: the first part, "Krehulets," was published in 1936, the second, "To Zarvanytsia," in 1938, and the third, "Berezhany," in 1941, after the author's death.
