About the book:

Liebermann: Our world is a bit broken. My feelings about it are projected in this book. No matter how broken and unjust this world is, the heroes of these stories are prepared to go on living. Because life has its beautiful sides, which they don’t always perceive on a conscious level, but which nevertheless allow them to carry on.

Karachentseva: With the illustrations, I didn’t strictly adhere to the text, but rather conveyed my impressions to the reader

passed on. I wanted to convey the special atmosphere of the stories and their particular beauty.
