Humorous Stories

The relationships between men and women, parents and children, family life and everyday concerns, the tumultuous rise of socio-political life and the latest trends in the art of the Silver Age — the writer jokes about everything, mainly in a... good-natured and benevolent manner, but at times — with bitter irony. The situations and characters presented in the author's stories are often grotesque — and from this, even more truthful. It is in such whimsical portrayals of reality that the mastery of Averchenko and his genuine life's wisdom are revealed. This collection features a brilliant assortment of stories filled with sparkling humor, lively and witty satire on the customs and daily life of Russian society in the early 20th century.
