Новата книга на Цветан Начев е искрена, остро изповедна и завладяваща с непосредната естественост и простота на изказа, с изчистеността на сравненията и оригиналната метафорика. Това е книга, заредена с благородна и светла вътрешна енергия. Талантливото вплитане на грубата реалност в деликатната плът на интимната поезия, майсторското използване на контраста между мечта и действителност – такива неща издават колко големи са са творческите възможности на поета. ...![](/b-images/quad-transp.gif) |

This & ...![](/b-images/quad-transp.gif) |

Имало едно време един мъж, който бил толкова зает и потънал в работата си, че душата му останала някъде зад него. Той продължил да си живее - да спи, да се храни, да работи, да кара колата си и дори да играе тенис. Понякога обаче се улавял да забелязва, че светът около него е станал някак двуизмерен, плосък, разчертан на квадратчета като в тетрадка по математика.
