Herods. Selected Prose and Poems.

Dear reader! You are holding a book by an extraordinary person - Lirida Kruzhkova. She was born in 1941 in Moscow. She graduated from the Moscow Power Engineering Institute. She worked at a research institute for 25 years, then set... off on her own. She worked as a tutor, a coach at the Olympic reserve school, a cook in a restoration artel in the Arkhangelsk region, a correspondent for Moscow newspapers ("Business and Leisure", "Trade Newspaper", etc.), a laborer at construction sites, a governess, a secretary to the chief of construction (SU-171), painted pictures, and sold them on Arbat in the 1990s. All her stories are based on real-life events. Lirida Kruzhkova is not only a writer but also a true poet, able to find inspiration and beauty in seemingly mundane events, to notice all the subtle movements of the human soul. The heroes of her stories are ordinary people, just like you and me. But behind their actions, laughter, or tears lies the poetry of life.
