Dikan'ka is a place in Ukraine and it is especially famous because the writer Gogol has written a story about the place and its people. Argiba writes: The Ukrainian way of life in mad Gogol's appearance. Daily occurrences abut upon mysticism, people with hellish souls, drunkenness. Sleep is a method to break from the boring monotonous life". The print is fantastic and not at all boring.
