The Oracle of Stories by Lidiya Pavlova
Since ancient times, people have turned to books for guidance: they would ask a question and open a random page of The Divine Comedy, the I Ching, The Odyssey, King Lear… because we recognize ourselves best when we find something that can only be found by chance. Words that suddenly enter our lives — the way we perceive them, the way we feel them — reveal what truly troubles us and what genuinely matters to us. Lida Pavlova, the founder of the Modern Magic School, has written 193 stories — folkloric, mythological, fairy-tale, and lyrical. They help you find an answer and take on part of the responsibility for a decision that has long been ripening within you. The Oracle of Stories is a magical mirror in which everyone will find what they need most. You only have to trust your eyes and your feelings: you are what you have seen. This book is about you.
