This is an automatically translated description

Stepan Rudansky's works are striking in their variety of themes and genres. In the history of Ukrainian literature, the poet is known as the author of humoresques (sayings, as the poet himself called them), songs (lyrical poems, some of which became folk songs), ballads, fairy tales, historical poems and translations of Russian, Western Slavic and ancient poetry. Speaking about the significance of Rudansky's poetry, Ivan Franko emphasised that he was one of the most talented Ukrainian poets who emerged in the literary field after Shevchenko's death.

The book contains Rudansky's proverbs, where the author's talent as a humourist, his ability to create vivid socially significant images through comic means based on everyday realities, was particularly strongly revealed.
