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 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-12514803\"\u003eAleksandr Gorbunov\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-4173211\"\u003eMultiple Authors\u003c\/a\u003e\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\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781090648594\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1090648596\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LCO\"\u003eLiterary Collections\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LCO014000\"\u003eRussian \u0026amp; Former Soviet Union\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44581800247533,"sku":"9781090648594","price":7.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_f3b2e4a2-b0ca-4da9-bac7-b5ff3f0c6cc1.jpg?v=1702094935","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/es\/products\/the-seven-ironical-stories-anton-chehov-leo-tolstoy-arkadiy-averchenko-teffy-9781090648594","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
