She is considered an iconic figure in Ukrainian culture, not only streets, but also asteroids are named after her. She initiated the creation of the "Pleiada" literary circle, knew seven languages and introduced the word "ray" into Ukrainian. She created not only brilliant poems, dramas, but also prose. She is Larisa Kosach, known as Lesya Ukrainka. "It was easy for me to embark on the literary path, because I come from a literary family," the writer herself recalled. At family evenings, the Kosach family often played literary games. This is how "Canapka" appeared, which later became the basis of Lesya Ukrainka's greatest story "Pity". Or "The City of Sorrow", which was born after the author's observations of the mentally ill while visiting her uncle, the director of a psychiatric hospital. Lesya Ukrainka's experiments with genres and plots are no less interesting. The presented selection covers more than twenty prose works of different periods. In particular, children's "Butterfly" and "Trouble will teach", realistic "School" and "This is her fate", neo-romantic "Vocal Strings" and "Mistake. Thoughts of an arrested person", in the favorite manner "from the author" sounds "Over the sea"; there are also several unfinished essays, such as "Come anyway!", "Alone" or the last work of the writer "Ekbal-ganem"...
