In the short stories of this book you will encounter folkloric atmosphere, human characters with animal characteristics, animals with human characteristics, dead people moving as alive, improbable places that defy natural laws, people becoming objects and objects feeling like people. Time becomes circular, the old is surprised and the new wears out incomprehensibly, the bad betrays and the good betrays.
Parabolic in nature, the strange tales of dreams and magical realism touch on key philosophical and existential issues. Many times of course they are satirical or cause embarrassment. The purpose is to look at the world more clearly from a strange angle, to find the most complete words to describe the strangeness that sleeps deep in our subconscious, and to laugh in the face of the given.
Welcome to the magical world of Imaginarium!
