Summary
Ivan Aralica: Ballads of Shrubs and Waters
Ballads of Shrubs and Waters is really a series of ballads about some human destinies that were tried in different ways to be removed by the waters of life. At the same time, in the Ballads, it is not the waters of history and politics that the characters of most of his later prose did not avoid, here we are talking about some completely life-like circumstances that become material for stories about small people whose life is determined by nature far more than they would like. Like all excellent and wise storytellers, Aralica does not impose interpretations and points, but simply just narrates, as exciting in the meticulous observation of external descriptions of natural environments as in the introspective plunge into the fears and conditions of her characters.
