In a lyrical style, the work demonstrates the simple kindness of farmers' nature, the dignity of personality, and the sacred and noble themes of humanitarianism that the writer strives to elucidate. The love for the people, the praise for the spiritual power, wisdom and genius contained in the working people, and the silent indictment of the serfdom system make the work endowed with wise ideas and great artistic appeal.
