This remarkable novel represents one of the finest examples of the interest in Slavic folklore that profoundly influenced Russian literature in the first decades of the twentieth century. Kondratiev's work brings to life popular demonic spirits of water field and forest by portraying their physical environment emotional life and interaction with the human world. The novel also depicts the life of magic healers sorceresses and witches who live among village folk but engage in practices that make them part of the dark world. The inclusion of pagan gods folk beliefs and narratives magical rituals celebrations and holidays that reflect pre-Christian and Christian traditions enhances the folkloric richness of Kondratiev's highly engaging narrative.
