This is an automatically translated description

The story “Among the Dark Night” is the first part of the famous dilogy by Borys Grinchenko (1863-1910). The life of the family of Pylyp Syvash is used as an example to show the social stratification of the village at the end of the nineteenth century, the destruction of patriarchal traditions and family ties. The dramatic fate of the main characters of the play makes us think about why people so often cause each other grief and suffering and how to make our complex and cruel world kinder. These eternal questions remain relevant today. The book brings the reader to the realisation of the importance of justice and beauty in human life, which unite hearts, enlighten the soul, without which one cannot look to the future with confidence and be happy.
