This is an automatically translated description

The history of Galicia is inextricably intertwined with the fate of the Counts Fredr and Sheptytsky. This book is a biography of three significant figures in Polish and Ukrainian culture: the playwright Aleksander Fredr, the "father of Polish comedy," his daughter, the painter and writer Sofia Sheptytska, and her son, Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, a great patron of Ukrainian culture and science. Thus, a separate book of life is dedicated to each of them - a book of creativity and work against the background of their eras. The fate of this artistic family is also the history of Galicia in the late seventeenth and early twentieth centuries and the birth of two modern nations - Ukrainians and Poles.
