"The Road Without Return," "Something Ends, Something Begins" - small masterpieces that again take us to the world of Geralt and Ciri, Buttercup and Yennefer. And also "Bestiary" - a description of all the outlandish and dangerous creatures with which Geralt met in his travels, and other horror stories with which he did not meet. And also the witty "Musicians" and "Golden Noon," which tell in a new way the stories of Alice from Wonderland Bremen musicians familiar from childhood. And also "Varenik, or No Gold in the Gray Mountains" - a brilliant, full of sarcasm message to fellow writers, overly fond of transferring Western fantasy cliches to Slavic soil.
