"Autumn Novels" is a famous cycle thematically related to the events of 1905. Vasylchenko's ideological maturity manifested itself in the fact that the heroes of his "Autumn Novels" are revolutionaries. The writer shows their moral purity and devotion to their cause. These are people who are aware of their social purpose and their life goal. They believe that «there will be truth on earth». However, Vasylchenko avoids depicting sharply conflicting class clashes, does not depict the revolutionary movement in its visual manifestations, he chooses a narrower, but also, no doubt, very important sphere of human destiny - an intimate sphere, and makes us feel how the turbulent events of the time echo in this sphere.

Stepan Vasylchenko (1878-1932) was a writer of folk art who defended the originality of Ukrainian art and its connection with the national tradition. Vasylchenko's work is characterised by poetisation of the national Ukrainian character, strengthening of the emotional and evaluative principle and in-depth psychological analysis.
