This is an automatically translated description

"The Double Circle", "Childhood" and "The Shalanda in the Sea" are short stories from the novel "The Horsemen" by Yuriy Yanovsky, which are characterised by compositional completeness and psychology. The introductory short story "The Double Circle" tells about the Polovtsian family. The political situation has put the brothers on opposite sides of the barricades, and now brother turns on brother, forgetting his father's cherished words of unity. This text is characterised by extreme psychological tension and a wealth of symbolic moments. The short story "Childhood" is a lyrical memoir. Childhood is perhaps the brightest period in a person's life, filled with fantasy and surprise at the first knowledge of the world. Picturesque descriptions of the steppe beauty and freshness adorn the lines of this work. The short story "The Shalanda in the Sea" tells of Musii Polovets' lucky rescue in bad weather at sea, of his love for his wife, which ultimately suggests that ordinary people who live honestly and know how to love truly have happiness on earth.
