This is an automatically translated description

The Lady of Pontus is a unique adventure journey through the labyrinths of royal courts, secret society lodges, enchanting masquerades, and the traps of suspicious cheap inns and prison cells in pre-revolutionary Europe of the 1770s. The hero of this adventurous and deeply philosophical novel is the Ukrainian Cossack nobleman Yuri Roslavets. Enchanted by the "lady of his heart" and a pretender to the imperial throne, he "chases the apparition" of his passion from Paris, through Germany to Venice, Naples, Rome and Pisa, experiencing dizzying adventures and being filled with worldly wisdom and a somewhat fatalistic understanding of life and the world.

This literary masterpiece was written in 1987 in New York by the controversial Ukrainian author, nephew of Lesya Ukrainka, Yuri Kosach (1908-1990), an outstanding, though still, unfortunately, little-known master of Ukrainian historical prose.
