The Syndrome of an Open Heart

Buy the elixir of luck at the Ayurvedic doctor's shop. Send your dissatisfied wife for repairs. Discover a genie in a bottle of wine and ask him to stay with you forever… Each story in this book is a metaphor for our desires, fears, the ideal love we dream of all our lives, and the happiness we pass by every day, not recognizing it. Natalia Ekonomtseva is the deputy editor-in-chief of the magazine New Hearth, a linguist, and the author of the books The Point of a Woman, The Master of Illusions, and Little Mars.
