I am cheating a bit because this title is not a book. It is a magazine series published by Saint Herman Press that comes out a few times a year. It can be ordered to Europe as well as to the USA for a very descent price.

‍

This is the only non-book on this list however I wanted to make an exception this one time to bring this wonderful series to your attention. The magazine will be interesting primarily to Orthodox Christians. Every episode tells the life of a modern saint in great detail; or it has new translations of the writings of a saint.

‍

This magazine is made with great care and expertise. The result is excellent. Reading the lives of these modern saints is a great way to learn about the modern history of the Church. For example, many modern soviet saints have been covered, and we can learn about the Soviet Union and the persecution of the Church during this time, which cannot as yet be found in history books.

‍

For those interested in the lives and writings of saints, I do not except you will find any better source that has been more carefully researched and so well-written.

‍

Individual copies of the magazine can be found on Saint Herman's Press website, so you are able to get older editions on saints that interest you. I recommend getting a subscription. You can find the books here:
