It shouldn't have come as a surprise. Sophie had heard the rumors. They said she was too kind and foolish to rule - a disaster of a future queen. And Sophie believed them.

Насреща ѝ върху снега скачаше един голям гарван. Гледа я дълго, като клатеше глава, и най-сетне заговори: — Га! Га! Добър ден! Беше му домъчняло за момичето и го попита къде е тръгнало тъй самичко по широкия свят. Герда разказа на гарвана всичко от игла до конец и го попита дали не е виждал малкия Кай.

Илюстрации: Виктория Видевска. ... Един от шедьоврите на Ханс Кристиан Андерсен е приказката "Снежната кралица", описваща израстването и съпътстващите го трудности - откъсването от дома, навлизането в непознатото, загубата на невинност и срещата със собствената ни сянка. Комплексната проблематика прави приказката подходяща както за деца, така и за възрастни. Често плашеща и трудна за разбиране на пръв поглед, в нея се крие разнообразие от морални ценности и идеали. Целта на илюстратора Виктория Видевска е да оживи контрастите, от които е изградено всяко детство - добро и лошо, реално и измислено, ред и хаос. ... |
