«Matchmaking»

Annotation

The first edition of "Matchmaking", written in 1870, appeared in the magazine "Volnaia Belarus" (Nos. 10-12) in 1918. "Matchmaking" ridicules a new social type of a rural bourgeois, increasingly prevailing in the post-reform village, whose main characteristics are the craving for profit and a complete lack of any moral principles.

The Belarusian State Archives-Museum of Literature and Art holds a handwritten transcript of the work by B. Epimakh-Shipila (1893).
