The book of Natalia Bratasyuk “Glass Ball” was presented in Uzhgorod

In the Transcarpathian regional scientific library, a woman, wife, mother, grandmother, teacher and psychologist Natalia Bratasyuk first debuted as a writer with her collection of essays "Glass Ball". "Finally! After 4 sons we have a girl" – with these words Serhiy Bratasyuk congratulated his wife on the release of book.

 Crowded regional library reading room, smiles on the faces of acquaintances, friends and visitors, sounds of the violin and melodies of the world classics performed by Lesia Dubenko – in this atmosphere the presentation of the first literary endeavor – the collection "Glass Ball" by known Uzhgorod psychologist Natalia Bratasyuk – began. 

Many warm words were heard from the publisher Oleksandra Harkusha, who worked with the writer for the first time. Ms. Oleksandra said that "Glass Ball" is not only the debut of the writer, but also the debut of a young graphic artist Andriy Klyovin whose works were used as illustrations for the book. 

Reading Natalia’s essays, you unwittingly draw an analogy with your own life, compare images with your friends and family. You fully immerse yourself in lines, in the world, emotions and situations that she describes. And the most interesting thing is that you recognize in the book real people that you know or moments of your own life.

Equally important is the fact that with the publication of her first collection the author pursues another socio-noble goal. All proceeds from the book sales will be transferred for the charitable psycho-rehabilitation project "Creative Shelter." The books can be found in the regional library reading room.
