Vasyl Zemlyak writes about seemingly familiar realities: the Ukrainian village of the 1920s and 1940s, the revolution, the destruction of noble estates, the first communes, collective farms, and the Second World War. However, everything is presented in a completely unusual perspective.

Old Babylon in Pobuzhzhia, peasants digging up a collection of ancient weapons under a pear tree, a local philosopher reading Plato and talking about the Tauri and Scythians, a swing built by a Singer sewing machine sales agent to marry off his daughters, a goat named Fabian who turns his back on a firing squad - all of this is woven into a bizarre novel against the backdrop of a great story.
