The creation is realistic, with colorful pictures of rural life, suggestive peasant paintings and descriptions of fates, and lively comic episodes; the language is rich, spoken, and the style is characterized by intonations of folk storytellers. The artistic value of the works is diminished by declarative political commitment, sociological interpretation of reality, ideological schemes.
