Gray legend. Ship of Despair. Gypsy king

In the hoary Belarusian past, Uladzimir Karatkevich found and retold to his contemporaries dramatic, poignant and touching stories about love, nobility and indestructible love of life. The burgundy nobleman Raman Rakutovich raises a peasant rebellion to win freedom for his humiliated compatriots and for his beloved, serf peasant Irina (“Grey Legend”). What kind of punishment, sophisticated in its cruelty, are prepared for lovers by merciless judges? The hero of “Laddy Despair” Gervasiy Vylivakha spends his time on fun games and in love adventures. “Babzdir nesamavity” still does not know who will be the last woman in his life, what will be his last love and how his chess match with Mrs. Death will end. Fantasy, mysticism, fears, gallows humor – this work contains everything that beckons the literary baroque. The nobleman Michal Yanovsky is destined to get into the dream state of the gypsies and meet his majesty Yakub the First… (“The Gypsy King”).
