Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky is an outstanding humanist writer, an exponent of people's aspirations, one of the most prominent figures in the history of Ukrainian literature.
Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors is Kotsiubynsky's best work, a tragic love story of Ivan and Marichka that echoes the world-famous drama Romeo and Juliet. The love sung by Kotsiubynsky also emerges against the backdrop of the confrontation between two warring families, but his characters are used to living in the midst of natural harmony, in the harsh and unspoilt Hutsul Carpathians.

The plot of this book became known far beyond Ukraine thanks to the outstanding film adaptation by Sergei Parajanov, which won many international film awards.
