Hryhoriy Kvitka-Osnovyanenko. Konotopska vidma. A collection. (The Witch of Konotop)

"Hryhoriy Kvitka-Osnovyanenko is often referred to as the "father of the Ukrainian prose" – both due to his own writing, and to his support of younger and less known Ukrainian masters in words. In this collection, you will find some of his most iconic works – full of humor and folklore, satire and poignant lyricism.
"..The mankind does not hurry to change, its terrible and ridiculous flaws are the same as 200 years ago – thus, they are actual now as well. On the other hand, Kvitka-Osnovyanenko fills his pieces with folklore motives – and the roots are never outdated. Especially now, when interest to folklore is growing and spreading. Thus, human flaws, virtues and roots – that is always a topical association – in interpretation of Hryhory Kvitka-Osnovyanenko."
