My pain may be the reason for somebody's laugh.But my laugh must never be the reason for somebody's pain. - Charlie ChaplinThis book includes selected works of satire and humor of Russian writers in the second half of XIX - early XX. 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.
