{"product_id":"9781090648594","title":"The Seven Ironical Stories: Anton Chehov, Leo Tolstoy, Arkadiy Averchenko, Teffy","description":"My pain may be the reason for somebody's laugh.But my laugh must never be the reason for somebody's pain. - Charlie ChaplinThis book includes selected works of satire and humor of Russian writers in the second half of XIX - early XX. These are familiar to the Western reader-Anton Chekhov and Leo Tolstoy, and much less well-known-Teffy and Arkady Averchenko. The stories presented to your attention touch upon the tradition for the classical literature theme of the \"little man.\" Each story is a dramatic sketch-a miniature. Teffy's stories can be a real discovery for a sophisticated reader. She was called the \"Queen of Russian Humor.\" Teffy defined her worldview as Spinoza's philosophical expression, \"laughter is joy, and therefore good in itself.\" Teffy's quotes: \"I hate the word 'never.' If I were told that I would never have a headache, for example, I would probably be scared.\"\"No one advises as much as a fool.\"\"Do not be afraid. What you are afraid already came.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eMultiple Authors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eIndependently Published\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eMar 16, 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e52 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1090648596\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781090648594\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Independently published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49183791382833,"sku":"9781090648594","price":12.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781090648594__95140_ef35f05e-040d-499e-9b16-78a0aaac5d77.jpg?v=1716634227","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781090648594","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
