The book ‘Eight Days from the Life of Lulya’ is a collection of prose by Oleksandr Konysky, an outstanding Ukrainian writer, poet, public figure, and spiritual educator. The works carefully depict a social portrait of the diverse intelligentsia of the late 19th century, through which the author penetrates the essence of human nature. His prose is distinguished by subtle psychologism, poetic realism, and ardent patriotism, and in style it leans towards the ethnographic-everyday trend. Thus, on the pages of the book, artistic and documentary chronicles, profound in their meanings and emotional tone, appear, in which the spirit of a bygone era comes to life.
