What do prince Harry, homeless Beduin and Alexander Lukashenko have in common? They all, surprisingly, could be met on the streets of Kyiv.

Our life – is a daily flow of incredible stories, you just need time to write down! The heroes of this illustrated collection – artists, taxi drivers, teachers, homeless people, gas stations’ workers, loser-suitors and even world-famous politicians! And all of them are united by one thing: a desire to be heard. The book is for those who like to laugh, to think and who believe in people.

This collection included stories, novels and essays, written by Kyiv author Anastasiia Pika during the period from 2010 to 2018. Some of them have already been published in prose collections, but most of them – for the first time. In 2017 “The return of Tethys” story won the competition of short prose “How not to love you”, launched by the “Coronation of the Word” and the Department of Public Communications of the Kyiv State Administration. “Painful gap” and “Time X” essays got a record number of likes in the short story competition and were included in the “Little stories for everyday” collection, presented at the 24th Publishers’ forum in Lviv. “13 tips for those who are going on safari to the district clinic”, “Why do I love Ukraine”, “How?”, “91st” were written as blog posts, however readers liked them so much that they also were selected to the collection.
