It is known that the development of fiction and, in particular, the great epic genres of the story and novel is an important stage in the formation of the national art of the word. Entering the Ukrainian literary field, Nechuy-Levytsky brilliantly developed the content and form of the short story and gave the first examples of the realistic novel genre from contemporary life. The work "Sokilska Hora" was first published in the magazine "Zorya" in 1896.
