These are familiar to the Western reader-Anton Chekhov and Leo Tolstoy, and much less well-known-Teffy and Arkady Averchenko. The stories presented to your attention touch upon the tradition for the classical literature theme of the \"little man.\" Each story is a dramatic sketch-a miniature. Teffy's stories can be a real discovery for a sophisticated reader. She was called the \"Queen of Russian Humor.\" Teffy defined her worldview as Spinoza's philosophical expression, \"laughter is joy, and therefore good in itself.\" Teffy's quotes: \"I hate the word 'never.' If I were told that I would never have a headache, for example, I would probably be scared.\"\"No one advises as much as a fool.\"\"Do not be afraid. What you are afraid already came.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aleksandr Gorbunov, Multiple Authors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/16\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.12d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781090648594\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":41111398285427,"sku":"9.78109E+12","price":8.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_9081c0ec-ec38-4cd4-ae75-c09e24b8bade.jpg?v=1700574830","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-seven-ironical-stories-anton-chehov-leo-tolstoy-arkadiy-averchenko-teffy-9781090648594","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
