Opis treści
The book Dr Caccioni introduces the multifaceted work of the Ukrainian writer Halyna Zhurba (real name Dombrovska, ne Nyvinska). The artist's legacy consists of impressionistic short stories, a historical trilogy, and a sensational novel published under the pseudonym Hemen Zhmurko in 1943. The dramatic plot of love polygons in the setting of a provincial town in the midst of the First World War reminded his readers of Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind. With a subtle psychology, a love of detail, and a dramatic depth of human destiny, the author paints a story in which the main roles belong to extremely colourful figures.
