The events depicted in the novel portray the life and customs of the Zaporizhian Cossacks of the 17th century. The romantic Cossack love of the young knight Pavlo and the Cossack daughter Orysia, the noble brotherhood of the ordinary Zaporizhians, the wisdom and military talent of their leader Sahaidachny, battles at sea and on land, naval campaigns and assaults on fortresses, the liberation of captives from Turkish bondage — all of this captivates and enchants the reader, awakening a dormant sense of national dignity and pride in their people.
The name of the people's teacher and writer Spyridon Cherkasenko was erased from the literary process and banned in the territory of Ukraine from the early 1920s during the Soviet era. His works were allowed to be studied only after the proclamation of Ukraine's independence.
The novel was written in 1934 in Horny Chernosytsia, the first edition was in 1937 in Lviv. The book is written as a novel from the Cossack times for young people and became a bestseller of that time, gaining wide popularity in western Ukraine (in the center and eastern Ukraine it was simply not published).
The reissue was published in Winnipeg, Canada at the Library of the Friends of Ukrainian Book Club (1952).
This work provides a complete answer to who Spyridon Cherkasenko was, what values and life principles he upheld until the very end of his life.
