“Little, Big” is “a truly unique novel that single-handedly accomplished a genre revolution” (W. Le Guin); is an epic bestseller about love and magic, about free will and destiny, about the role of the individual in history, woven by an unseen but powerful storyteller. Town clerk Smokey Barnable marries Daly Alice Drinkwater, the daughter of a children's writer, and goes to live with her in an unmarked land. on the maps, the Edgewood estate is a mysterious structure, which, the deeper you go into it, the larger it becomes and, it seems, contains the surrounding forests and fields, and even the whole world. The heroes of "Little, Big", generation after generation, see themselves as characters in a certain Tale, feel the unobvious co-presence of supernatural forces and unconsciously act out a romantic opera based on Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream", the libretto of which could have been written by Lewis Carroll. The translation is published in a new edition , as well as with a new author's preface written specifically for this Russian edition.
