This is an automatically translated description
This fascinating novel is set in the era of the Khmelnytsky region. It was during this period that the foundation stone of the modern Ukrainian state was laid. No other nation has ever fought for its freedom or defended its dignity the way our ancestors did in the seventeenth century. The book describes interesting and little-known facts from the history of Ukraine, depicts customs, life, complex social and religious relations, and highlights the reasons for the beginning of the National Liberation Struggle of our people. The events of the novel cover the period from the summer of 1647 to the beginning of 1649.
The book describes in detail, almost day by day, the battles of Zhovtovodsk, Korsun, Pylyavets, the events of the summer of 1648, and the difficult political situation in which Ukraine found itself without reliable allies. But most importantly, the novel is about love. The characters of the novel are ordinary Ukrainians of that era who wanted to live in peace, love, have families and children, but who had to fight for their right to dignity and freedom. The plot captures the reader's attention from the very first words and does not let go until the last page.
