Více o knize

Set against the backdrop of Ukrainian folklore, this classic comic novella weaves a tale rich in humor and moral lessons. The narrative features a folksy, rambling style reminiscent of Mykola Hohol's works, blending archaic language with colloquial expressions. It explores themes of witchcraft and the supernatural, showcasing comical situations intertwined with insights into Ukrainian beliefs about witches and demons. The book's unique stylistic complexity has made it a challenge to translate, contributing to its relative obscurity outside Ukraine.
