До видання увійшли твори М. Хвильового (1893–1933) останніх років його життя. Панівним у тогочасній літературі був метод соцреалізму. Проте твори Хвильового мають ледь помітні прояви сатири та дошкульної іронії, подекуди й елементи психологічних конфліктів.

Это история пылкой дружбы двух девушек, вступающих во...
