Ivan Nechuy-Levytsky went down in the history of Ukrainian literature as an outstanding master of fiction. Having created a number of highly artistic social and domestic stories and novels, reflecting in them the hard life of the Ukrainian people in the second half of the nineteenth century, showing the life of the peasantry and labourers driven by poverty from their homes to factories and fisheries, I. Nechuy-Levytsky introduced new themes and motifs into Ukrainian literature, depicting them with vivid artistic means.
