Adventurous Novel. Memories

Nadezhda Alexandrovna Teffi (Lokhvitskaya) is a brilliant Russian writer, author of atmospheric works filled with numerous shades and nuances across a wide range of literary genres. The proposed collection includes 'Adventurous Novel' and 'Memories' by the writer. In 'Adventurous Novel,' Teffi presents the story of a love affair between the main character — Natasha, a model at the fashion house 'Manel' in Paris, and a strange young man who appears and disappears in her life, with her characteristic taste and deep psychological accuracy. One of the highlights of the work is the remarkably precise and ruthless description of the morals of the émigré environment. 'Memories' is dedicated to the writer's farewell to her homeland. A patchwork quilt, woven from subtle observations, the tale of a forced journey from Moscow to Kyiv and Odesa, and then to Paris during the Civil War reveals to us the sorrowful pages of Russian history.
