This collection contains, in English translation, eight short stories and two other writings by Lithuanian authors, spanning a time frame of from 1930 to the 1980s. One is set in a medieval, fantastical, Lithuania, others in pre-WWII Lithuania, and one seems to take place in late 20th Century America. 'The Cross' by Jurgis Jankus, set in a desolate, post-apocalyptic landscape, is worth the price in its own right. 'The Idler' by Aloyzas Baronas describes a hero who is zenlike in his dispassion for status and wealth in the midst of war and dislocation. Another tale is of two bestest buddies--a great-great grandmother and a young boy. 'Flax Blossoms' is about a barely restrained sexual attraction in a pastoral setting, and the passion seems to burst through the pages. Two other writings are from the period of Lithuania's rebirth and its path towards re-establishment of independence in the 1990s. Ostensibly opinion pieces, they are poetical and unique.
