The Way Things Were
The Way Things Were is a collection of stories and novellas by Ukrainian writer Marko Vovchok (Maria Alexandrona Vilinskaya-Markevich) focused around the lives of Russian and Ukrainian serfs during the last decade of slavery in the Russian Empire. These works were instrumental to the abolitionist movement, whose members - writers, poets, artists, and political activists - eventually succeeded in bringing about the Emancipation reform of 1861 and ending six centuries of serfdom.
Marko Vovchok's stories are not epic, historically significant episodes, but rather small, everyday vignettes from the lives of serfs and their masters, made all the more powerful by their serene, conversational style bringing the reality of the era into stark relief.
This collection includes the following works:
The Merchant's Daughter
Sasha
Mischief Maker
The Schoolgirl
Katerina
Nine Brothers and Their Sister Galya
The Tulle Baba
Lazy Bones
Little Toy
The King of Hearts
Lemerivna
Masha
