This is an automatically translated description

Mykhailo Mykhailovych Kotsiubynskyi entered Ukrainian literature as a master of psychological prose. Critics consider the peaks of his artistic style to be &At a High Price» (1901), &Fata morgana» (1910), &Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors» (1911), which are included in this collection of selected works. In his last novels, Kotsiubynskyi supplemented his characteristic style (for which he is sometimes called an impressionist in literature) with elements of neo-romanticism. Kotsiubynskyi was and remains one of the most original Ukrainian novelists. He spoke nine foreign languages, including Greek, Crimean Tatar, and Gypsy; he was one of the first in Ukrainian literature to realise the need to reform it in the direction of modern European prose.
