"Notes of the Clerk" is one of the outstanding works of dramatic literature of the 19th century. In it, Marko Vovchok with great artistic skill talks about the hard life of the peasants after the predatory reform of 1861. The novel depicts pictures of the life, customs and customs of the clergy, who, hiding behind rants about religious humility and brotherly love, oppresses the people, deals with honest people who raised their voices against darkness and violence.
