Гениальное комедийное произведение известного украинского поэта, драматурга, прозаика, организатора украинского театра, которое очаровывает искрометностью юмора, неповторимостью все новые и новые поколения читателей. По сути, это история о хитром повесе, цирюльнике Голохвастове, который ухаживает за двумя девушками: одна для души и глаз, а другая для пополнения опустевшего кошелька. Но всем известна народная мудрость: за двумя зайцами погонишься, ни одного не поймаешь.

Mykhailo Starytskyi
Author · 3 books
Mykhailo Starytsky was a Ukrainian writer, poet, and playwright. He was the cousin of the famous Ukrainian composer Mykola Lysenko and a father-in-law to Ivan Steshenko. He was orphaned early in life and raised by Lysenko's father, so he was able to supply much of the information for the composer's biography. Starytsky wrote librettos, songs, stories, dramas and poems. Later in life, Starytsky worked with Lysenko, collecting Ukrainian folk songs and transforming them into plays and operas for which Starystky wrote the librettos (including Taras Bulba, an adaptation of the novel by Gogol). He eventually switched from writing scripts for theatre to writing books. Starystky is currently remembered for his work with Lysenko, as well as his later poetry and novels.
