In this book the author, who has already addressed the folklore heritage in various ways, created a vision of a lost world, the customs and beliefs of an ancient people “who herded cattle, spoke some Proto-Slavic language and did not use the alphabet”. Although based on contemporary ethnological knowledge, the stories collected in this book are told in a personal, poetic style, in different voices that seem to appear before readers from the depths of time and guide them through their universe. Portions of ancient folk songs that reflect fragments of forgotten beliefs are also woven into the author’s text. (Anita Peti-Stantic)

How Wang-Fo Was Saved is one of a very few texts for children written by the great French novelist Marguerite Yourcenar, here translated into Croatian for the first time. In her story, inspired by a Chinese legend, with a master painter as the main protagonist, Yourcenar is posing fundamental questions about humanity and art in a simple, yet striking manner. Searching for the aesthetic pleasure the perfect master Wang-Fo discards the material world and its acclaim. However, an encounter with the Emperor reminds him that works of art are always about the world and part of the world – even if they eventually succeed in becoming a world in their own right and a sort of sanctuary.
Age 12+
