This book should be studied lengthwise, across, diagonally and in a circle. The artist and architect Yulian Yusim drew pictures that turned around: a learned beaver, if you turn the book upside down, turns into a sad donkey, a tiger turns into a seal, an elephant turns into a swan … Incredible? But “it is sometimes closer from an elephant to a swan than from yourself to yourself,” says the writer Aya en, who wrote short fairy tales-parables for the pictures: “Does your dream dream of becoming you?”, “Time always turns people into something, on that they are wasting it” and, finally (these words could become the motto of the entire book), “Try to roll over yourself before you try to turn the world over”… Although there are only 12 stories, you can admire optical illusions for hours and reflect on the philosophical meaning of fairy tales.
