I Am But a Dream
Presentation of the collection of texts and drawings by Dafina Georgieva (Ronya)



“Everyone should have a heart like this and then they will neither starve, nor suffer from cold, nor anything…” – writes little Dafina Georgieva, or Ronya, as she likes to sign. But the heart is already gone…that heart, which longed to warm and nurture us with its love. The words and the drawings remain – unforgettable traces (signs) in the infinity of our memory. The book “I Am But a Dream” gathers the best of one talent, which would have undoubtedly developed in many aspects. The essays by Valery Petrov, Julia Ognianova, Leda Mileva and Peter Zmiicharov as well as the introduction by Maria Gareva are added to the edition of “Egmont Bulgaria”. This original creative biography contains poems, short stories and essays, diaries and e-mails as well as a lot of drawings. At times the child’s imagination rushes towards the shining sun, at others – towards the dreams and the cherished desires of people. She draws untiringly everyday events from school, memories from journeys around the world, thoughts about books and movies. They are all here – mum and dad, school friends and e-mail friends, the favourite Harry Potter, the terrific singers and superb movie stars. What is for sure, however, is that Dafina is tireless, she refuses to give way to despair and gloomy thoughts and in the end she succeeds in carrying us, readers, away in her vigorous running. Where to? It goes without saying – to happiness.
