It happened in Kresy during the war, as well as fairy tales for children: 5 fairy tales for goodnight and Krolewska za Margerytke. I propose to readers a journey into the past - to the times when during World War II the eastern borders of Poland were under Soviet occupation, which settled there after the war. Reaching for the memories of witnesses, I look at this period from the perspective of the everyday life of people who found themselves in a situation completely new to them, exceeding all, even the darkest predictions. There is no great politics here, but there are small matters of everyday life, which have been fundamentally changed

The 19th-century saying, 'Behind the uniform, a lady's rope' has become significantly devalued these days. Once there were 'uniforms' and then there were 'maidens' - today women successfully perform uniformed professions on an equal footing with men. Despite this, many of us still harbor sentiment for times gone by, while others strive for modernity. What if we gave up divisions and tried to combine one with the other? After all, after thirty, more is allowed! We present a one-of-a-kind thematic anthology that combines tradition with modernity, sentiment with the courage to change, and a variety of literary genres in one book
