Ukrainian Folk Stories - Vovchok, Marko

Clean, tight, unmarked; soft cover book; wear to edges; sunning to spine; address label and some light staining on ffep; otherwise very minimal wear; Vovchok witnessed the harsh social, political, and cultural realities of life in Ukraine in the 19th century and captures in her writing the poetry and brutality of that life. Her stories are no folk tales or fables. They convey the facts of rural life under serfdom with the appeal of folk art and the persuasive force of an informed social and political vision. Filled with the peasant women whose courage, endurance, and fidelity as wives and mothers she admired.
