The Little Golden Rose: A Tribute to Literary Passion
 
Written by Soviet writer Konstantin Paustovsky, The Little Golden Rose is more than a novel—it's a lyrical ode to the craft of writing.
 
Centered on a goldsmith who forges a tiny golden rose from dust, the book weaves stories of ordinary people and their quiet dreams. It reveals how daily moments— a stranger's smile, a rainy afternoon—can become raw material for literature. Paustovsky's prose blends warmth and wisdom, reminding readers that beauty and inspiration lie in life's trivialities. For anyone who loves writing or storytelling, it's a heartfelt guide to cherishing life's small wonders.

My favorite book is Hesse's. This book tells the story of a young boy named Sinclair and his arduous journey of self-discovery.Sinclair lives in a world of“light,”yet he is constantly tempted by another world filled with“darkness.”He repeatedly makes deals with the devil and descends into depravity. It is in his darkest moments, when he feels the most lonely, confused, scared, and in pain,that Demian appears.Demian guides him out of the mire and back into the light. After countless purifications and shocks of thought, Sinclair finally realizes that the guide is not only Demian but also himself. Everyone will experience a low-point in their life. We need to find our own way and become ourselves.
