Nadezhda Teffi is one of the brightest and most original writers of the Silver Age, whose ironic and subtle prose has long entered the "golden fund" of Russian literature. In this collection, she carefully weaves Slavic mythology into the fabric of everyday life, turning stories into mirrors that reflect deep fears, memories of childhood and youth.
The collection "The Witch" is a guide to a world where the terrifying is inseparable from the funny, and the mystical is intertwined with the mundane. Where the unclean is not evil, but a reflection of life itself, wild, unpredictable, and beautiful. Teffi's world is full of legends and superstitions, but in every story, there are recognizable and understood feelings for any person: longing, love, loneliness, fear, faith.
The edition includes: "The Witch", "Vurdalak", "Domovoi", "Leshachikha", "Homely", "Bath Demon", "Mermaid", "Werewolves", "Dog", "Strange One", "The One Who Walks", "Vedun", "Water Spirit", "Wolf Night".
For all who adore mysticism, Slavic folklore, and dark tales that send shivers down your spine.
