The book is an anthology of modern Greek short stories, which includes works of small literary forms (short stories and short stories) by authors who were awarded the State Literary Prize of Greece in the period from 2010 to 2018. The texts collected in the anthology are devoted to pressing problems of modern Greek literature, closely intertwined with the political, economic and social problems of modern Greece and the world as a whole. The works, varied in plot and creative method, reflect, like fragments of a mirror, the multidimensional appearance of modern Greek literature, about which the Russian reader knows so little.
