About the book: 1972 / “The One” is one of the best stories by the Slovak writer K. Jarunkova. The writer reveals the complex inner world of the teenage girl Olga, who acutely feels all the joyful and dark sides of life. The transition from a carefree childhood is associated with acute experiences. The brightest thing for Olga is a person’s good feelings. She suffers that her neighbor’s little children are growing up without affection and attention. Olga, despite her parents’ prohibition, visits them, tells them fairy tales, and takes them for a walk in the winter park. She acts as a good wizard, trying to restore justice in the world of childhood. She, like Salinger’s hero, sees the brightest, the purest in a small child, for whose happiness she is ready to sacrifice her own well-being. The drawings and text of the poems were invented by the heroine of the story Olya Polomtseva, who in this book came to the aid of the artist KONSTANTIN ZAGORSKY.
