Teffi 
Rasputin and Other Ironies [EPUB ebook] 

Ondersteuning

Ranging from portraits of Rasputin and Lenin to observations on the Russian Revolution, and from profiles of cultural figures to moving domestic scenes, this short collection includes writings by the inimitable Teffi never before published in English. Everything is here – politics, society, art and literature, love and family life – and all is told in Teffi’s multifaceted style: amusing, sincerely moving, ironic and always honest, pervaded by an intensely felt understanding of humanity’s simultaneous tragedy and absurdity.

Over de auteur

Teffi was a phenomenally popular writer in pre-revolutionary Russia – a favourite of Tsar Nicholas II and Vladimir Lenin alike. She was born in 1872 into a prominent St Petersburg family and emigrated from Bolshevik Russia in 1919. She eventually settled in Paris, where she became an important figure in the émigré literary scene, and where she lived until her death in 1952. A master of the short form, in her lifetime Teffi published countless stories, plays and feuilletons. After her death, she was gradually forgotten, but the collapse of the Soviet Union brought about her rediscovery by Russian readers. Pushkin Press also publishes Subtly Worded, Rasputin and Other Ironies and Memories: From Moscow to the Black Sea.
