Description of the sixth volume. (English version).

The sixth volume of Natasha Peterburzhskaya's works continues a new chapter of her creativity - prose works, short stories, which Natasha called novellas. The sixth volume consists of 31 novellas. Volume 6 begins with the short story We Met Strangely, a remarkable, subtle and touching love story of an elderly scientist for a famous writer, who, although she reciprocated his feelings, preferred independence and creativity to the family hearth, which she considered too boring an occupation for herself. Disappointment is the price she paid for this rash decision. And of course, this love story is accompanied by numerous remarkable, touching and tender poems. Along the Shore; Immortals; Stolen Happiness; Lilith; Pink Babydolls; Cliff Over the Sea; The Lonely Sail Turns White; My Soulful Gifts; In the Crimean Summer; Fading Romance; Belated Awakening; School Romance; Wagon of Desires; Happiness Smiles Twice; Moscow; Belated Recognition; Anatoly; Gypsy; Dostoevsky; In Second Roles; Agave Pulled; White Nights; Winter in Vienna; Lapdog; Matchmaking; In Search of Love and The Wind of Wanderings – all these are also about love, about different kinds of love, but mostly about unhappy love, about the difference in characters, habits, beliefs, which ultimately leads to incompatibility. But how beautifully and poetically it is all written; what a high style, with what intensity of emotions, self-sacrifice and how many poems there are in these prose short stories. One could put together a separate volume of poetry from them, but no, they fit organically into the context of each story.
