For the first time in the last hundred years, the prose of Hryhoriy Kvitka-Osnovyanenko returns to readers as it truly was. With its own rhythm and distinctive Slobozhanshchyna dialect. Vengeful witches, the dead who celebrate Easter, enchanted treasures, tumbleweed — a witness against a murderer… Before us unfolds a vivid and mystical picture of life on Ukrainian lands from Konotop to Kharkiv. Kvitka-Osnovyanenko’s tales are also European plots transplanted onto native soil, sermons, literary debates, language play. And this is never written about in textbooks.
