About the book: 2014 / Eduard Asadov (1923–2004) is one of the most widely read lyric poets. Many who began to write poetry did it “according to Asadov,” because he knew how to speak with people in a language that was familiar and understandable to them and very well imagined his reader: truly naive, not always able to express his feelings and present his thoughts. That’s why Eduard Asadov’s poems are mostly plot-based: they are based on stories that any inexperienced person can consider their own.
