The proposed publication contains selected works by the outstanding Ukrainian writer, playwright Mykhailo Petrovych Starytsky (1840-1904), which fully show the reader the author's versatility and skill, his ability to write in completely different genres.

The comedy "Chasing Two Hares" is a well-known story about a cunning bankrupt barber who falls for two girls at the same time, but in the end is left with nothing.

The story "The Siege of Busha" recreates the real historical events of the heroic defence of the fortress town during the Ukrainian national liberation war of the seventeenth century. The adventure plot of the work, the strength of the main characters, and the self-sacrifice of the entire population of the town are impressive, and the love of the centurion Orysia and the Polish prince Antos fascinates with its depth.
