Humorous Stories

Children and adults, men and women. Retrogrades and progressives. Young men and ladies, husbands and wives, passionate lovers and cunning seductresses, poor and rich, the people, aristocrats, and the intelligentsia. They all find themselves in comical and absurd situations, and each of them is laughed at by Teffi — with pity and condescension, but more often — with subtle irony. Teffi's wit is truly magnificent, and her heartfelt humorous stories are absolutely sincere, which is why they still enjoy deserved popularity.
