"The Witch of Konotop" by Hryhoriy Kvitka-Osnovyanenko, translated by Michael M. Naydan and Alla Perminova, is available from Glagoslav Publications!

First penned in 1833, this uproarious Ukrainian comic novella has remained a national favorite but was long inaccessible to global readers due to its richly layered language and blend of high literary and folksy styles. Now, this cultural treasure has been brought to life in English for the first time with all its wit and charm intact.

Follow the misadventures of a superstitious official in 18th-century Konotop who believes witches are to blame for a severe drought. What ensues is a delightful parody of petty authority, small-town antics, and folk beliefs gone wild—think a witch hunt with the humor and surreal tone of Nikolai Gogol.

Rich in satire, superstition, and Slavic soul, this story offers more than laughs—it’s a vivid window into Ukraine’s cultural heritage and literary brilliance.

📘 Pick up your copy today at Glagoslav.com and discover why this timeless tale still casts its spell.

Expertise in Slavic and European languages and literatures, extensive experience in international publishing, and a deep appreciation of the histories and cultures of both Western and Eastern Europe enable us to offer English-speaking readers throughout the world access to important works that deserve an audience beyond their native lands. We seek out books from Slavic countries that represent different ethnic communities of these regions and play an important part in our common cultural, literary and intellectual heritage, and promote a better understanding of this intriguing but often misunderstood part of the Eurasian continent.

The primary focus of Glagoslav Publications is to bring out translations that embody values that are uniquely Slavic in nature and celebrate universal values as reflected in diverse cultural demographics of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and other nations in the region. Every book that we publish has already achieved an engaged readership in its native land, has been recognized by international critics, and, in many cases, has either received or been short-listed for prestigious national and international awards.

Currently Glagoslav Publications has launched an entire series of previously untranslated fiction and non-fiction titles and republications of translations that deserve the attention of international readers with an interest in Eastern Europe.
