This is an automatically translated description

Svydnytsky's main work is the novel The Luboratskis (written in 1861 and 1862, first published in the Lviv magazine Zorya in 1886). It is a chronicle (largely autobiographical) of the decline of the Luboratsky family in three generations, against a realistically recreated background of the domination of Polish lords in Podillia, the oppression of the tsarist regime and official Orthodoxy hostile to Ukrainians. The broad thematic scope of the work gave Ivan Franko the reason to call it "the first realistic novel set in the everyday life."
