This collection by the renowned satirical writer Arkady Averchenko includes stories from various years, presenting the reader with a unique kaleidoscope of comic situations, ranging from all kinds of amusing everyday scenes to biting political satire.
Naivety and selflessness, innocent cunning, and gentle humor in stories about children, horror and indignation, absurdity and eccentricity in post-revolutionary stories, cheerful, spirited laughter and vitriolic sarcasm — the entire palette of the comic is mastered by the pen of Averchenko, this "knight of the smile," "Russian Mark Twain," and "king of laughter"…
