This is an automatically translated description
Olha Kobylianska (1863-1942) was a Ukrainian modernist writer, an early participant in the feminist movement in Bukovyna, and a close friend of Lesia Ukrainka. For almost half a century, she wrote dozens of short stories, novellas, novels, and novels that became some of the most important in the early modernism of Ukrainian literature. The story "The Princess" is, obviously, the peak of Olha Kobylianska's work. It is a text rich in meaning that fascinated Lesya Ukrainka with its subtle psychology and irritated Ivan Franko with its excessive "sensitivity". It is a story about an emancipated woman who writes, dreams of a literary career, and fights for her rights. It is the first text in Ukrainian literature about writing. The Princess deals, in particular, with the psychological motivation to write. What does it feel like when circumstances are not favourable at all? There is no creative environment, no support, on the contrary, people around you do not understand why all these efforts are necessary. This book launches the series "My Classics" by Pabulum Publishing House. The series will feature the most important texts of Ukrainian literature. Books that will reboot your understanding of our culture. Texts that became phenomena in literature and influenced its development. In a strong country, it is important to read and know "your classics."
