About this audiobook

Yevgeny Schwartz is a genius Soviet dramatist, poet, screenwriter and unbeatable master of fairy tale satire. he made a real breakthrough in the world drama: he took the children's familiar stories of Andersen and Perro and converted them into sharp, deep and surprisingly modern philosophical narratives about the human nature, freedom, conformism and nature of power. The main gift of Schwarzenegger is the ability to talk about the most complicated, and sometimes terrible things easily, ironically and extremely poetic. His plays **The Dragon**, **The Ordinary Miracle**, **The Shadow**, **The Naked Queen**, as well as the favorite books and scripts from childhood **The Story of the Lost Time**, **The Witch** and **The Two Brothers** have long been cited into quotes. The writer brought to perfection the art of the eshop language: behind the magical facade, speaking cats, dragons and witches, he always hides an honest and uncompromising conversation about how easy to lose a person in himself and how important it is to maintain the purity of the heart in the face of fear and betrayal. It is deprived of insight, but penetrated by bright humanism, bright humor, and a firm belief that love, courage, and true nobleship are always able to overcome any, even the oldest and most powerful evil. Children - to get acquainted with good magic and a wise fairy tale, adults - to enjoy a virtuous language, the thinest irony and deep meaningful subtexts.
