There are values that remain in this world forever: the good that you did to others, the miracles that you gave to someone, the dreams that you helped to realize. The collection of stories by Dmitry Birman is just one of these miracles, revealing to the reader the simple secret of a happy life - miracles can and should be done with your own hands, if you can see and understand that this is actually not difficult and accessible to any novice wizard. Dmitry Birman is a master of the short story; it was this genre that brought him fame and became his calling card. AST Publishing House begins publishing the author's series of stories by Dmitry Birman with the collection “Strange People.”
