This is an automatically translated description

Ivan Korsak's novel not only describes year after year of Yuriy Nemyrych's life, but also successfully emphasises the main moments of the future chancellor of the Grand Duchy of Rus: the transition from the Swedes to the service of Bohdan Khmelnytsky; service under Hetman I. Vyhovskyi and the civil war with Colonel M. Pushkar; preparation of the Hadiach Agreement and a new civil conflict over it, which led to Yuriy Nemyrych's death.

The author has managed to show the extraordinary figure of Yuriy Nemyrych in Ukrainian history, to emphasise the idea that winning at the desk is no less noble, and perhaps even more important, than in a battle with a sabre in hand.
