Viktoria Tokareva is a famous writer and screenwriter, familiar to Russian viewers by favorite films from childhood: "A Lesson in Literature", "Gentlemen of Fortune", "Mimino", "There was a dog walking along the piano", "You are...". A special place in the works of Tokareva are stories and novels, warm and lively, with mild humor, written inimitable, easy, "Tokarevsky" language. With sympathetic characters who sometimes remind us of ourselves. "Victoria Tokareva looks at the world as if other eyes have not yet seen it, as if she was given the opportunity to discover for the first time the nature and essence of things .... she rediscovers the world around us," wrote Yuri Nagibin. "Pushkin's tranquility" - so we can say about the prose of Victoria Tokareva, whose works comfort and help to accept life as it is, in all its fullness, complexity and fragile charm. ...They love, demanding nothing from each other. They have to lead a double life and hide their connection. But now it does not matter to them what happens next: it seems to them that it is impossible to separate them ... This edition includes stories from the 1990s, as well as the play "Well and Let It Be" and the movie novel "Gentlemen of Fortune".
