"Brevity and Talent". Almanac 2022

You’re saying: “Fiction is all inventions.” And we disagree? The point is that inventions can be incredibly realistic and believable. Ancient legends written down in the magical scrolls of druids will come alive before your eyes, and the scary stories that boys tell each other during the holidays will unfold too. You’ll see that at a country cottage near Moscow, heroes are threatened by no fewer adventures than in far space or a parallel reality. And you’ll also learn the recipe for universal happiness and the price of words that are worth more than life. All our inventions are only for you, dear readers!

The almanac features stories by both experienced writers and beginner authors—graduates of the literary workshop “Brevity and Talent.”
