The first collection of poetry by Dunin-Martsinkevich. The book includes "a\r\nBelarusian novella based on a true story written in the language of the Belarusian\r\npeople" "Gapon" (before 1854), a play in one act in Polish, a poem\r\n"Congratulation of a Village Head Navum" (1854) in Belarusian, and 14 verses in\r\nPolish (1848-1854). <\/p>\r\n\r\n
A versed novella "Gapon" is the writer’s first large work written entirely in\r\nBelarusian. The author tried to show in it the conventionality of the class division of\r\nsociety. A young villager Gapon is in love with Katsiaryna, who also attracts a\r\nhouse-keeper. Having slandered Gapon before the landlady, the house-keeper managed to get\r\nhim recruited. The landlady, who occasionally learned about Katsiaryna’s offence, sacked\r\nthe house-keeper, hired the girl as her chamber-maid and taught her to read and write. In\r\nthe meantime, Gapon became an officer. He took part in the recruiting commission, on which\r\nthe former house-keeper, who attempted to avoid the army, found himself too.\r\nGapon achieved that the house-keeper was taken as a soldier. The poem ends in Gapon\r\nand Katsiaryna’s marriage.
