Under what license is a fiction book published?

Good afternoon!
I understand copyright very superficially, so my question may be stupid. But still.
I'm going to publish a fiction book (paper, if that) in a publishing house on demand. I would like everyone who bought a book to have an absolutely legal right to copy and distribute it in any way, provided that he does not receive financial benefits from this, does not replace or hide the authorship of the book, does not change the content, and the copy is distributed under the same license , which is the original. But at the same time, any commercial use should be possible only with my consent.
Can you tell me which license satisfies these requirements? Or is the "(c)" sign and the author's full name enough?
And here I will ask, is it enough to write on the book that it is published under such and such a license, so that this license has legal force?
Thanks in advance

If you take the bold step of releasing it under Creative Commons, the full designation will be CC-BY-NC-ND.
I am attaching a link to the description, and, by the way, this link will also need to be inserted in the book itself.
creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/
BY - means that only your authorship must be indicated in any copy,
NC (not commercial) prohibits the commercial use of your book by others,
ND (no derivatives) prohibits changing the content books and create derivative books based on it.
PS If the book is fiction, then maybe remove ND? I remember my sister read "White Bim, Black Ear" as a child, and being in tears from the ending, she rewrote the last chapter and put these leaves into the book. Maybe someone has already read both endings :)
This story kind of touched my heart.

There are Creative Commons licenses for such needs - see their configurator . The only thing is that I did not find Russia in the list of "jurisdictions" - this means that they do not have licenses specially adapted for our legislation.

Didn't find what you were looking for?
