Повість Михайла Коцюбинського Intermezzo — класика українського імпресіонізму. У творі все символічне — від героїв до поетики.

Головний герой твору прагне відпочити від людей і лише серед зелених степів і бездонної небесної блакиті він нарешті чує тишу. Однак хіба можна втекти від Залізної руки городу?
