This is an automatically translated description

The author of Lovers of Justice is the «-patriarch of Ukrainian literature», a contemporary Ukrainian poet, writer and publicist, winner of the ANGELUS Central European Literary Award, Yuri Andrukhovych. His books have been translated into many European languages. He wrote this novel for 27 years. At first glance, this is not a novel, but eight and a half short stories, connected not by a plot, but by a common mood and atmosphere. The last story unites and explains all the previous ones. The events described take place in the seventh and twentieth centuries in Galicia. The reader will see the criminals who stood trial before the court of the occupying empires: Austro-Hungarian, Polish, German, and Soviet. The book describes not only the horrific and disgusting crimes, but also the weaknesses and passionate hobbies of the criminals. The punishments for them are not always objective, but often horrific. Most of the characters had real-life prototypes, as well as their criminal acts. The author relied on archival materials when writing this book. But this is not a scientific historical work, so Andrukhovych often uses allusions to some historical facts.
