Every time has its own tales. Continuing the pre-revolutionary tradition of Christmas stories and novellas, The Blueprint begins each winter holiday with 'New Year's Tales.' These are stories and poems by the most prominent contemporary authors, in which our current, sometimes painful, reality coexists with phantasmagoria and the wildest hopes.

This collection includes more than thirty very diverse New Year's gifts from our favorite poets and prose writers. Sincere and ironic, realistic and magical, melancholic and wonderful—these stories, illustrated by artist Ulyana Podkorytova, catch time itself in their fairytale nets. Three Christmas spirits—Past, Present, and Future—teasing with nostalgia, stunning with a thrill of recognition, and giving bright hope and faith in the desired miracle.
