The life of the prominent Ukrainian writer Volodymyr Vynnychenko (1880-1951) was extremely complex and turbulent. This talented artist of the word was a well-known political figure who devoted his entire life to the struggle to build a free, independent Ukraine. It is not surprising that his works were banned from publication for a long time.

The main character of the novel Notes of the Snub-nosed Mephistopheles, Yakiv Mykhailiuk, seems to be playing at life rather than living it. He even treats his marriage as a game. But one fact stands in the way: it turns out that Mephistopheles has a son who was born against his wishes. The game is over: Mykhailiuk has to choose between his beloved and his child.
