Is it difficult to read the works of Valentin Raist? Maybe. On the one hand, these works seem simple. At the same time, the author tries to talk about all the versatility of the human soul. The author’s works are about love, about suffering, about questions of life and death, about the answer to the questions “what is the meaning of life,” “what is happiness,” “what is conscience,” about humor and many other aspects of human life. The first collection of poetry by Valentin Raist is not a book for ordinary reading. This book is for those who are looking for answers, and also opens up an understanding of other works by V. Raist.
