Тонкие письма. Рассказы. Воспоминания

Nadezhda Aleksandrovna Lokhvitskaya - the famous Teffi - one of the most prominent figures in Russian literature of the early 20th century. Teffi's humorous stories were read in both palaces and huts. Her talent was highly appreciated by Bunin and Kuprin, Aldanov and Zoshchenko.

In addition to the stories, this collection includes “Memoirs” - a true story about the author’s journey across Russia along with a huge wave of emigrants.

As often happens with masters of ironic prose, Teffi’s laughter was mixed with tears. This is especially noticeable in the memoirs of the writer - about the old Russia, gone forever, about the Civil War, about the forced journey into emigration, about friends and acquaintances from among the creative intelligentsia and their mental tossing and the difficult choice of their fate in revolutionary Russia...

The book opens with a foreword by B.V. Averin.
