This is an automatically translated description

The historical scenery changes, but the human psyche remains almost unchanged. Isn't it true that, just like the protagonist of the novel, Yakiv Mykhailiuk, people today are sometimes disappointed in their youthful ideals and choose the path of profit, individualism, and sensual pleasures? Aren't some women still looking for a successful marriage, doing anything for it? Doesn't parental love remain the same throughout the ages?

Volodymyr Vynnychenko in his novel Notes of Mephistopheles the Snub-nosed Mephistopheles explores the issues of reason and instinct, family and divorce, child custody and abortion, duty and personal desires, falling in love and love, high aspirations and getting bogged down in the mire of everyday life. The subtle psychology of the novel puts it on a par with the immortal works of world classics.
