Tolstoy, Rasputin, Others, and Me: The Best of Teffi by Teffi (Nadezhda Lokhvitskaya)
Edited by Robert Chandler and Anne Marie Jackson
May 2017
4,5/5
*Read in English from the original Russian, translation by Rose France and Elizabeth Chandler
I finished this book over three months ago, therefore I cannot give my best and usually long review of it. However, I will say that this book lives with you long after reading it. There is something about the penmanship of Teffi that makes you feel right at home. I still think of the stories inside this book when I go to bed or read another book about Russia. I highly recommend this to anyone who’s scared to dive into the menacing-looking Russian literature world. I am no expert myself, but I think that this gives you a great and easy to read introduction to the views of a Russian on Russian classics.
