Book Review

Evgeny Schwartz's «Ordinary Miracle» is a play that captivates with its fairy-tale atmosphere and profound philosophical undertones. Critics note that Schwartz masterfully blends elements of fantasy and reality, creating a unique world where miracles become commonplace. The central theme of the work is love, which can overcome any barriers and change people's destinies. Despite their fairy-tale nature, the characters are very human and evoke genuine sympathy from readers. Schwartz uses irony and humor to highlight the absurdity of certain life situations, making the work not only profound but also easy to perceive. Critics also point out that «Ordinary Miracle» raises important questions about freedom of choice and responsibility for one's actions, making it relevant even today. The play leaves a bright feeling of hope and belief in miracles that can happen in anyone's life.
