This collection of short stories brings together a new generation of writers who have grown up with the political concept of Europe. Their writing is both universal in the themes they tackle and deeply rooted in their specific countries. Published simultaneously in eleven languages, The Alphabet Garden reflects the richness and diversity of the cultures of Europe.
