Ring Rose of the World

Christmas fairy tale -The Ring of the Rose of the World? Starting from Gibraltar-to Peshawar and then on the course through America – on the banks of the foggy Albion closes our magical ring of the Rose of the World. The rose is a symbol of the Motherland. The narrative contains the motives of three wonderful works of brilliant authors at once. William Thackeray is best known for his Vanity Fair. Here you will be acquainted not only with Thackeray the storyteller but also with a similar writer such as the Japanese storyteller Junji Kinoshita (The Departed Frog). Thackeray's biography is such that he can easily bring his favorite characters from all over the world and the Japanese Kinoshita with his love for all kinds of frogs – from green to earthen. The third work also belongs to Thackeray –a satirical chronicle of the Next French Revolution. The leitmotif of this fairy tale is a strong rejection of militarism; not because people are now more lazy or cowardly have lost the old fighting spirit of the great warriors of the past but because they have learned to think of others more than of themselves to feel sorry for and cherish the lives of others.
