E. Werner’s novels “Runes” and “Two Worlds” continue the study of human destinies begun in other works of the author. In their quest for happiness, her heroes reveal themselves not only as extraordinary individuals, but also as subtle, delicate natures. With all their actions they claim that a person can be happy only when he maintains respect for himself, when he can look at his life without shame and remorse, without seeing in the past any bad deed, no evil, no offense caused to another.
