«Ordinary Miracle. Three Masterpieces: The Snow Queen. Ordinary Miracle. The Dragon» — a collection of fairy tales and plays by Yevgeny Schwartz about love, freedom, fear, and moral choice. The book includes three independent works, not connected by a common plot, but united by a fairy-tale form and serious internal content. This edition is suitable for those who seek classical dramaturgy with clear language, irony, and allegory, where behind the fantastic circumstances lie quite earthly human trials.
The collection includes three independent works: «The Snow Queen», «Ordinary Miracle», «The Dragon».
These stories are united by the author's view of the fairy tale as a way to talk about serious things. In «The Snow Queen», closeness and salvation come to the forefront, in «Ordinary Miracle» — love and magical trial, in «The Dragon» — life under the pressure of fear and power. Together, they provide a holistic view of Schwartz the playwright, in whose texts lyricism, irony, and allegory are combined.
