About the book: 1927 / Didn’t everyone say and didn’t they claim that Ukrainian nights were created for love delights? Didn’t Gogol exclaim pathetically: “Do you know the Ukrainian night ? - and didn’t he himself answer, seeing that the tongue was taken away from the timid reader: “Oh, you don’t know the Ukrainian night.”... Yes. The Ukrainian night is captivating and voluptuous. But the sultry Ukrainian afternoon is a hundred, a thousand, a million times more captivating and voluptuous...Oh, happy lovers living in the Soviet Ukrainian Socialist Republic! Tired, you stretched out among the vines that grew on the sand, and fingered the golden solar net and dreamed of those times when a person’s father was already a man, but his grandfather was still a chimpanzee. Moscow: Artel of Writers “Circle”, 1927 *** Cover not from the 1927 edition.
