| Summary | "Maroussia" by P.-J. Stahl is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set in Ukraine, it draws on legends and historical contexts to explore the lives of its characters, with a focus on the titular character, Maroussia, and her family. The narrative delves into themes of heroism, friendship, and the struggle for independence amidst turmoil.
