Valery Nikolaevich Lyalin (1928-2010) is one of the most talented Orthodox writers of our time. His books have been reprinted numerous times and have found appreciative readers throughout Russia.

Valery Nikolaevich's youth coincided with the war, which left such a deep and festering wound in his work: the war in Crimea and the Caucasus, Stalingrad and the Leningrad Siege... The post-war period was marked by his acquaintance with an outstanding contemporary, the surgeon and Archbishop Luke (Voino-Yasenetsky), who confirmed the author in the Orthodox worldview, which became the fundamental meaning of his life.

The heroes of V.N. Lyalin's stories are living people of our time and of bygone eras, from desperate sinners to holy hermit monks. The author tells about numerous ascetics, of whom he has seen many in his lifetime, about their spiritual experience: about the acquisition of prayer, about sobriety, about repentance - the reader will find much that is interesting and spiritually beneficial in the stories of this remarkable writer.
