![]() Lovely, Dark, and Deep not only has a catchy title and an absolutely fantastic synopsis, but the writing within the pages of this book flows perfectly. ![]() So yes, Lovely, Dark, and Deep not only grabbed my attention due to its physical appeal, but the story itself was completely original, fun to read, and the characters were so easy to develop a kind of connection with. When I came across Lovely, Dark, and Deep by Christina Chen, I fell in love with the cover, the synopsis, and let’s face it – the super awesome way the pages get darker and darker gradually as the book goes on (it’s really cool – I highly recommend checking the physical edition of this book out). ![]() I knew I was going to enjoy this book when I first read about it – I’m drawn to books that focus on teens dealing with realistic issues, whether they be medical issues, social issues, etc. ![]()

The images have colors of the eye of the child. The illustrations are made on a white background which highlights each aspect of the drawing. In its cover we can see a great heart die-cut, with the edges in different colors and that decreases in size as we explore each of the feelings. One of the aspects that attracts the book is its physical aspect. This is a great book that can be used as a support for the child's socio-emotional development. The language used is simple, lyrical and demonstrative, which is expressed through short paragraphs. The storyline is about a little girl who talks about different types of feelings and how she perceives and expresses them. I like it because it is a book that allows the reader to see himself through feelings. ![]() ![]() ![]() So when I said my vows before the congregation, I knew I’d break them.

Za razliku od Rimljana, vojna oprema im je bila oskudna, retko ko je uopšte imao pancir, ali su zato štitovi bili česti. Uz pantalone, odevali su se u kabanice, a svaki muškarac je nosio sa sobom oružje, budući da je ono bilo izraz pripadanja grupi – čim ga mladić dobije, postaje odrastao. ![]() godine zabranio nošenje pantalona kao varvarski običaj.

To je teško utvrdivo, ali imaginacija se ne zaustavlja na dokazima.Īli da se vratim na napomene. ![]() Nije nemoguće da su veze između Germana i Slovena, naročito u kontekstu daleke prošlosti, tešnje nego što smo mislili. Od običajnog prava, mitologije, ratovanja, sve do svakodnevice i kulta gostoljubivosti – svugde se mogu povući paralele. Sličnosti je mnogo više nego što bi neko pomislio. Kad se Tacitovom tekstu dodaju Čajkanovićeve napomene, koje, naravno, često uporedno osvetljavaju germanski i slovenski folklor, sve postaje još zanimljivije. Dovoljno mi je da pročitam kako su Germani proricali sudbinu iz grančica, kretanja belih konja ili cvrkuta priča, pa da se priča nastavi svojim tokom. Pojedini detalji su toliko živi i životni da je uranjanje nužno, a sa njim i dopričavanje. Nije to, međutim, samo zbog vremena, već i zbog stila – Tacit piše vešto i sugestivno, dakle, pripovedno u najboljem duhu te reči.
