Demonic Woman

The second collection of selected stories by Teffi in the series "Exclusive: Russian Classics".

The artistic world of humor from the unique Teffi — so "subtle, tender, and sharp" — is characterized by special goodwill, humanity, and warmth. Her heroines —... innocent sinners, with their charming frivolity, simple morals, and lovely empty pursuits, while the heroes are sometimes absent-minded and carefree, whose mistakes, betrayals, and downfalls are so endearingly naive…

The collection includes stories from different years: "Reevaluation of Values", "The Career of Spitsione the African", "Earned My Place", "The Fashionable Lawyer", "The Translator", "Subtle Psychology", and others — all of which are read in one breath, and you want to return to them again and again.
