About the book (from the review) This book is a fairy tale of the type that is addressed to adults rather than children (except perhaps adolescents). Someone once said that the look at the meadow expressed in the title is as if from the depths of the box with the lamb, as we know it from The Little Prince. Blue box is a story about friendship, love and hope. It is also about longing and searching. The most important things in this story are the events that occur during the journey of the two main characters, Maria and Abyss. Which of the places they visited is the most important? Is it a lake with little Pola in a boat? Maybe a field with a Giant and growing lettuce? Everyone must answer this for themselves. For me, it was an angel under the tower of stopped time, and pigeons were going to the scaffold. A special kind of this place is a home. Whatever home is, when you want to travel into the unknown. J.
