Михайло Старицький "Останні орли" (Історична повість)

The historical novel by the classic Ukrainian writer is a broad canvas about the Koliyivshchyna, the 1768 uprising of the Ukrainian people on the Right Bank of Ukraine led by Zalizniak and Honta against the Polish landlords and Catholic clergy. The work is close to Shevchenko's poem The Haidamaky in its ideological orientation and its treatment of the Haidamaky.

Reproducing the social and religious conflicts of the time, showing the implacable struggle of the people against the Polish gentry and the Catholic clergy, the author pays much attention to the personal lives of his characters. The plot of the work is dynamic and tense.
