Victoria Tokareva is a well-known writer and screenwriter, familiar to Russian audiences from beloved childhood films: "Literature Lesson", "Gentlemen of Fortune", "Mimino", "The Dog Walked on the Piano", "You Are...". A special place in Tokareva's work is occupied by stories and tales, written in an unparalleled, light, "Tokarev" language, with a soft and kind humor that always touches the soul. What is happiness and freedom, and where is the boundary that separates us from loved ones? Does love have an age, and how does it differ from habit or pity? Fierce, uncompromising blackmail and despotic adoration — are these also faces of love?.. To find the answer and accept the simple truths that life gives, Tokareva's heroes, like us, sometimes have to go a long road of mistakes, suffering, and delusions. The edition includes prose works by Victoria Tokareva, including the novellas "Terror with Love", "Tree on the Roof", "One of Many", and the stories "Salto-mortale", "My Enemies", and others.
