This is an automatically translated description

Viktor Petrov-Domontovych (1894 - 1969) was a Ukrainian writer, philosopher, social anthropologist, archaeologist, historian and cultural critic, Doctor of Historical and Philological Sciences. He was a major author of Ukrainian literature. He founded the genre of the Ukrainian intellectual novel (together with Valerian Pidmohylnyi).

The Girl with the Bear and Doctor Seraphicus are two of the most famous works by V. Domontovych. The Girl with the Bear is a seemingly love story about a teacher and his rebel student, which subtly parodies the established moral and cultural framework. The author demonstrates the fluidity of all the values that his generation lives by.

"Doctor Seraphicus" is an ironic text about the relationship of a strange professor with people from his inner circle.

The author built his stories on the basis of his own scientific research, so they became the material for reflecting his worldview. Intellectual games are the basis of Petrov-Domontovych's writing. We can see this through the actions and words of the characters, as well as through the structure and style of the novels themselves.

Domontovych surprisingly successfully immerses us in the atmosphere of Kyiv and urban life of that time - the first third of the twentieth century - through vivid details throughout the text.
