The novel Taras Bulba by Nikolai Gogol tells about Ukraine in the first half of the 17th century, where the Ukrainian Cossacks of Zaporizhzhya heroically fought against the Poles. The main character is the Cossack colonel Taras Bulba. The plot is fascinating and multifaceted, with descriptions of everyday life and various characters of the time, as well as fighting, love, betrayal, and the drama of a father who lost his sons in the most tragic circumstances. Taras Bulba has become one of the most successful prose works of Russian literature, inspiring both Ukrainian and foreign artists to create a number of derivative works in various genres and art forms, including operas and operettas, films, TV series, and paintings. Translated into Ukrainian by Mykola Sadovsky.
