About the book - the question everyone asks themselves
„Hope or Fear" poses a rhetorical question to which each reader is invited to find his or her own answer. In his stories Nasko Gelev offers different directions for reflection and shows that the paths ahead of us are many and everyone chooses which one to take.
The editor of the book Kalina Tomova writes:
„There is a rhetorical question in the title of the book that it is time for everyone to find their own answer to. Nasko Gelev gives only some directions to suggest that the paths are many and different. And everyone decides for himself which of them to take. More important is the reflection, the awareness and the desire to do something concrete to change our lives and to erase all kinds of fear forever. Because we are so much bigger than that. Once we get to know ourselves, fear will leave on its own. It is hope that will always hold us in the Power and give us the life of joy we were created for.“
- Kalina Tomova
