: Borulya tries to force his daughter, Marisia, to marry a vain clerk for the sake of status, ignoring her love for the honest suitor Mykola.
The play follows Martin Borulya, a prosperous farmer who becomes obsessed with proving his "noble" ancestry. He spends years and a fortune on bureaucratic red tape, bribes, and lawsuits to be officially recognized as a nobleman. His tragedy (and the source of the play's comedy) is that he values a piece of paper more than his actual character or his family’s happiness.
While your search refers to "downloading the book" ( skachat knigu ), Ivan Karpenko-Karyi’s classic play is more than just a text to find; it is a foundational work of Ukrainian satire that remains remarkably relevant today. The Illusion of Noble Status
: This collection includes Karpenko-Karyi's most famous comedies and is available at Ukrainian Pages .
: The play mocks the complex and often corrupt "noble registers" of the 19th-century Russian Empire, where dignity was something to be bought through paperwork. Themes of True Dignity
The core message is that true nobility is found in work, honesty, and family—not in titles. When Borulya finally loses his legal battle because of a single misspelling in his documents (a change from "Borulya" to "Berulya"), he finally realizes the absurdity of his quest. Availability for Reading
