By Volodymyr Vynnychenko

Book Overview

"Zapysky Kyrpatoho Mefistofelia" (Notes of a Crooked Mephistopheles) by Volodymyr Vynnychenko, originally published in 1919, offers a compelling look into the turbulent period of early 20th-century Ukraine through the eyes of a cynical and observant protagonist. This work masterfully blends political satire with deep psychological insights, exploring themes of national identity, social upheaval, and the moral compromises individuals make during times of crisis.
