The anthology of Macedonian contemporary short stories, named as Change of the System is the result of teamwork by the academic professors Richard Gaughran and Zoran Anchevski, and stands as a viewpoint on the Macedonian literature and culture in the world, it captivates wider English-language readers. The noble mission of the literature is to step beyond the divisions among the nations and cultures. `There is no literature that declined or substituted another, but in a cyclic and reciprocate game that exists thousands of years, all literatures mutually do translate each other in efforts to get closer one to another, just like those passengers that have no intention to conquer or rule or govern, to change or indoctrinate, but to comprehend the world and the other people...`as the well-known Italian contemporary comparativist Armando Gnisci said once. His words are very illustrative, concerning the role and function of translation as creativity and creation - a meta-creation of the literature deed in a new linguistic and literature context. In this case, this (above mentioned) thoughts point on the integration of the Macedonian short story into the European and the world tradition of the narrative - as a genre. Change of the System isn`t the first anthology of Macedonian stories in English, but it is a first anthology of the Macedonian stories in English - since the Independence of Republic of Macedonia. Worldwide is common to publish this kind of anthologies on decade-bases; here, is a real rarity, but this book - judging by the carefully presented selection - and proves that the narrative story practice in Macedonia is increasing and that even in a small literature like ours, can show significant richness in its production. This is, of course, a fact to commend but also a fact that obligates in the millenium that follows.
