This is an automatically translated description

Hulak-Artemovskyi laid the foundations of a new fable, gave the first examples of a romantic ballad, enriched the literary language, and showed an example of masterful versification.

The 20s of the XIX century were the most fruitful in the poet's work. During this period, he published fables "Solopiy and Khivrya", "Tykhtiy and Chvanko" (both 1819), "Fool and Clever", "Curious and Silent"; (both 1820), Father and Son, Fish, and Two Birds in a Cage (all 1827), in which he touches upon life's problems, sometimes of a social nature.
