This is an automatically translated description

The memoirs of the prominent Ukrainian artist Oleksa Hryshchenko (1883-1977) about Tsargrad in 1919-1921 were first published in French, and later in the author's edition in Ukrainian. They can rightly be considered a literary work, the artist's language is so rich and imaginative, and his thoughtful observations immerse the modern reader in the exotic atmosphere of the culture of the ancient East and mystical Byzantium.
