This is an automatically translated description

In his novel “The Luboratskys”, A. Svydnytsky (1834-1871) depicted the life of an ordinary Ukrainian family in the mid-nineteenth century. The work is written in a colourful language with a wide use of apt Ukrainian folk expressions typical of the time. The novel is a kind of historical document and encourages the reader to reflect on the problems of the national education system, the status of the Ukrainian language, religion, knowledge of the nation's history, and fostering respect for native culture. It is still relevant for Ukraine today.
