About the book: 2021 / A selection of aphorisms from the works of Victoria Balashova belongs to a special literary genre - aphorism, which is becoming increasingly popular. Interest in aphorisms is explained by the fact that short phrases, free of context, represent easily digestible, ready-made knowledge based on the author’s experience, philosophical understanding of life, and the desire to tell us about what is important to all of us. Quite often, the reader finds aphorisms in the text, remembers them, and uses them in his speech. At the same time, an aphoristic phrase is used in a new context, expands its meaning and lives its own life, independent of the text in which it was used. Rent Victoria Balashova's thoughts and add new meanings to them.
