This is an automatically translated description
For the first time in the last hundred years, Hryhoriy Kvitka-Osnovyanenko's prose is returning to readers as it really was. With its own rhythm and special Slobozhansky dialect. Vengeful witches, dead people celebrating Easter, enchanted treasures, tumbleweed - a witness against a murderer... We are presented with a vivid and mystical picture of life in the Ukrainian lands from Konotop to Kharkiv. Kvitka-Osnovyanenko's stories are also European plots transferred to Ukrainian soil, sermons, literary polemics, and language play. And this is never written about in textbooks.
