In this audiobook, new stories come together—“The Valsing” and “Gloria Mundi”—as well as the cult novel “Days of Trembling.” Eternity and everyday life, the real and the fantastic, laughter at the end of an emerging drama and a sad note amid the carnival—these are the key traits of witty prose that affirms, despite all the hardships of earthly life, the paradoxical joy of existence.

“When, from the means at hand dictated by a mighty imagination, there is stitched together that joyful festival of life which we are destined to mourn from birth to death… then… then you think: how does she, after all, manage to do it?!” (Dina Rubina)
