A collection of texts by Maria Kapajeva that she wrote in Russian and English. She started writing the book on February 24, 2022 – the day the full-scale war in Ukraine began. The book is written in a personal style and deals with themes of identity, collective and individual responsibility and guilt, language and belonging, feminism, and the stories of some of the Ukrainian refugees that the author encountered during the year.

Raamat kaasneb näitusega "Mälu arheoloogid. Kunstikogu Vitols Contemporary" Kumu kunstimuuseumis (18.11.2022–09.04.2023). Näitus ja käesolev raamat on esimene teemapõhine sissevaade Baltimaade ühte huvitavamasse kunstikogusse Vitols Contemporary, mis keskendub Ida- ja Kesk-Euroopa kaasaegsele kunstile ja kuhu kuulub ligi 1000 teost enam kui 150 autorilt. Kollektsionääride Irina Vītola ja Māris Vītolsi sõnul on kogu ajendatud nende huvist Ida- ja Kesk-Euroopa regiooni sotsiaalsete ja poliitiliste muutuste vastu pärast Berliini müüri langemist 1989. aastal. Samuti tõstavad nad esile piirkonna kultuurilist mitmekesisust. Raamatust saab lugeda intervjuud Irina Vītola ja Māris Vītolsiga, Maarja Kangro novelli ja Tanel Randeri esseed ning see sisaldab ka näitusel eksponeeritud teoste kataloogi.

Perched on the northern rim of the Baltic States, one thing for which Estonia is known far and wide is its folklore collections, which are among some of the largest in the world. Another aspect that makes the country exceptional is that, in spite of urbanisation, modern Estonians are still enthralled by their forest, and half of the territory is wooded. Forests and fairy tales stand side by side in this book. Here, you will find stories about the forest and the humans, animals, and supernatural creatures that thread its paths. Fairy tales reveal what people hold dear, the observations they make, and what lies at the depths of their souls. Thus, the English-language title: Deep in the Forest. Compiled by Risto Järv and translated into English by Adam Cullen, each fairy tale in this collection can also be found in the Estonian Folklore Archives.

Muinasjutud räägivad sellest, mida inimesed peavad oma elus oluliseks, mis on neil hingel. Muinasjutt jutustab alati ennekõike jutustajaist endist. Eesti inimesele on mets oluline paik, seepärast viib ka hulk meie muinasjutte metsa. Folklorist Risto Järv on Eesti Rahvaluule Arhiivi 15 000 muinasjutust välja otsinud sada metsaga seotud lugu ning need tänapäeva lugejale ümber jutustanud. Raamatus on muinasjutte metsast, metsas käivatest inimestest, seal elutsevatest loomadest ja kohatud üleloomulikest olenditest. 2016. aastal ilmus eesti keeles metsamuinasjuttude kogumik „Metsavaimu heategu. Sada eesti muinasjuttu metsast ja meist“. Eesti Vabariigi 100. sünnipäeva auks on tõlkija Adam Cullen pannud raamatu ümber inglise keelde.

Valikus on üle kolmekümne eesti muinasjutu inglise keeles: „Ahne hunt”, „Kuuneitsi”, „Laulev puu”, „Söepuder”, „Taevane tare”, „Ussinaine” ja palju teisi. Raamatus on ära toodud ka muinasjuttudes olevate laulude noodid. Muinasjutul ei ole sünnipaika. On inimese meel, kuhu ta pesa on teinud, kus ta haub ja nukkub, et oleks jõudu edasi minna. Ta võiks elada igavesti, rännates ühe inimese juurest teise juurde, ühe keele juurest teise juurde, ühe rahva juurest teise juurde. Muinasjutt on see, mida me iga päev oleme ja elame, aga mida me ei saa teisti väljendada kui jutustades ja vestes. Olgu õnnistatud igaüks, kes paotab raudust, et lasta sisse muinasjutt. Olgu õnnistatud igaüks, kes paotab raudust, et lubada muinasjutt tema rännakule.

A fairy tale has no birthplace. There is only the mind of the person in whom it has nested, where it roosts and metamorphoses to gain the strength to carry on. It can achieve immortality by wandering from one person to another, from one language to another, from one nation to another. A fairy tale is what we are and what we experience every day but can only express through speaking and storytelling. May all who push open the iron door to let a fairy tale enter find fortune. May all who push open the iron door let a fairy tale venture onward find fortune. This collection contains over thirty Estonian fairy tales in English: “The Greedy Wolf”, “The Moon Maiden”, “The Singing Tree”, “Coal Porridge”, “The Hut in the Heavens”, “The Snake’s Wife” and many more. It also includes the music for songs sung in the stories.

“From Estonia with love” on pilguheit Eesti aja- ja kultuuriloosse, loodusesse ja eestlase meelelaadi. Ingliskeelsed jutud ja lummavalt kaunid loodusfotod toovad põhjamaise väikse maa, mis on seestpoolt kordades suurem, kui väljastpoolt paistab, külalisele lähemale. Ja loodetavasti panevad teda ka armastama. Vähemasti nii on raamatu autorid seda mõelnud. Ikka – armastusega Eestist. Raamat on inglise keeles.

“Every woman is born with a palette of healthy archetypes – The Girl, The Lover, The Chatelaine, and the Queen. Balance in this ancient code of womanhood brings along a balanced and wholesome life. Unfortunately, women often fall from the healthy archetypes to their shadow forms possessing either too much or too little of that particular energy. Archetypes and the shadow archetypes are like angels and demons of the female psyche. I wrote „The Art of Being a Woman” in hope that by acknowledging the shadows and expressing the healthy archetypes women can look at themselves from a new perspective and change their lives for better.

This book is an excellent description of the journey of human development, based on the author’s personal experiences. It’s easy to theorize that true growth begins when you’ve lost everything that you’ve built over your lifetime, but it’s a whole other thing to actually experience it and live to tell the story. Tiit Trofimov has done that with disarming honesty and humor, giving us an uncensored account of one man’s winding path to living as his true self. This type of developmental transformation usually begins after age 35, if at all. Many people don’t dare to step on the deeper path, opting instead to attempt to rebuild some semblance of their former life. If you choose to begin the inner journey, you’ll soon discover that nothing remains the same. Your world becomes multidimensional, your previous patterns more transparent and your being more authentic. You’ll begin to accept the world and yourself as you truly are and your actions are no longer driven by the narrow material needs of your ego. Your existence takes on a deeper meaning. This is the beginning of a whole new life. The End is the Beginning shows us that midlife transformation is not only possible, but essential – as crucial a threshold of life as coming of age. Thank you, Tiit, for sharing your journey! – Alar Tamming Transpersonal Psychologist & Vice President of Estonian Transpersonal Association
