Inside - Maria Pavlova - Bog

All has been stored inside you - pain, joy, love, even death. Somewhere deep inside you is your entire world, which you can carry everywhere, which you can never get rid of. These are nine stories about women of different times and of different age. There is a fine borderline between the unreal and the impossible. There are subtle transitions between sad and funny. The underlying common trait in all stories is the refined allure, characteristic of a woman. In the same way as air is characteristic of life. All stories reveal her subtle inner self, for which the outer reality or senses are only either a trampoline or non-existent at all. The object and subject of these nine stories is all that sparkles or tarnishes, tossed along the shores of light and darkness, yet sparkling or tarnishing truly inside, whereas its echo is reflected outside. The recurrent theme in this collection of short stories is the exquisite and charming balance inside, which makes sense even if being lost at times. Just because by being lost, and probably exactly due to the loss, it reveals how beautiful it could have been in fact.
