Children's & YANazar the Brave
by Derenik Demirchyan
Thousands of tailors, shoemakers, lazy vagabonds, “renowned” and unknown, bachelors or those terrified of “wretched wife’s indictments” who dreams of becoming a queen set on a journey to find their fortune some of them having written mottos on their self-proclaimed bravery on their flags, and some of them on the blade of their swords and some of them on their armor to create one of the best pieces of world fairy tales which can be conditionally named “Nazartales”. Nazar, no matter what “noble” titles he is represented with, is a national “hero” in different cultures. He was “honored” by Hovhannes Tumanyan and the Brothers Grimm, Alexander Afanasyev and Italo Calvino, Joseph Jacobs and Avetik Isahakyan. But our Nazar is still different – “Center of the universe”. The number of beasts he killed counts thousands. Have you heard such a thing?! The German tailor kills 7 flies in the best case, the poor shoemaker from the Albion – a dozen of flies, the Italian counterpart – 500. Our pahlavan perfectly handles rhetoric, “I say five, and you should understand thousand”.

Personal & social issuesAugust 2023The Mirror of Wishes
by Yulita Ran and Valentyna Melnychuk
One day, a famous collector’s widow brings an antique mirror to the restoration workshop of Milana’s father. The legend of the mirror says that it can grant wishes. And even though it seems silly at first, soon enough the mirror turns out to be genuinely magical. After proving its powers and fulfilling Milana’s wishes, the mirror becomes an asset for someone with a corrupted heart. As it gets stolen, the young detectives — Milana and her friend Nazar — are trying to find out who is behind this crime. Will it be possible to return the priceless thing before there’s any more damage? This masterfully illustrated book shows us an example of good life choices and righteous priorities. It teaches kindness and compassion and prompts us to think about what is really important. Being told from the perspective of a child, the story explicitly shows how complicated the child’s feelings can be when growing up and facing grown-up challenges.

Orthodox & Oriental ChurchesAugust 2015Modern Othodox Thinkers
From the Philokalia to the Present Day
by Andrew Louth
A lively and perceptive account of the lives, writings and enduring intellectual legacies of the great Orthodox theologians of the past 250 years. This book explores and explains the enduring influence of some of the world's greatest modern theologians. Starting with the influence of the Philokalia in nineteenth-century Russia, the book moves through the Slavophiles, Solov'ev, Florensky in Russia and then traces the story through the Christian intellectuals exiled from Stalin's Russia - Bulgakov, Berdyaev, Florovsky, Lossky, Lot-Borodine, Skobtsova - and a couple of theologians outside the Russian world: the Romanian Staniloae and the Serbian Popovich, both of whom studied in Paris. Andrew Louth then considers the contributions of the second generation Russians - Evdokimov, Meyendorff, Schmemann - and the theologians of Greece from the sixties onwards - Zizioulas, Yannaras, and others, as well as influential monks and spiritual elders, especially Fr Sophrony of the monastery in Essex and his mentor, St Silouan. The book concludes with an illuminating chapter on Metropolitan Kallistos and the theological vision of the Philokalia.
