Soma Morgenstern's magic box of memory contains many treasures, which he shares on the pages of his autobiography. The author's father was a manager of manors in several villages in Podillia. In 1904-1912, Soma Morgenstern studied at a Polish gymnasium in Ternopil. Therefore, the background of this book is the rural environment of Podillia in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as well as the life of Ternopil in the early twentieth century.

These are stories full of love, wisdom, and humour, the main characters of which are the author's relatives and fellow villagers: Ukrainians, Jews, and Poles. These are stories about the big and small events of that time: the first peasant strike in one of the villages, the laying of a railway track, the first flight of an aeroplane over Ternopil, the arrival of the sensational Buffalo Bill circus in Ternopil, etc.

Soma Morgenstern's book will be a real find not only for historians and local historians, but also for a wide range of readers.
