Taffy (Nadezhda Aleksandrovna Lokhvitskaya (1872-1952) - a true "queen of Russian humor", "Chekhov in a skirt", as her contemporaries called her.
Writer of short stories and feuilletons, poetess, memoirist.
Taffy grew up in a very cultured family: her father was engaged in judicial reform under Alexander II, and her sister was an early deceased poet Mirra Lokhvitskaya.
Then Taffy's fame can be called fame without exaggeration: her work was read personally by Nicholas II, Taffy's name was called candy and perfume.
She survived three revolutions, two world wars, in the 1920s emigrated to Paris, but managed to retain the spontaneity and ability to laugh at ordinary everyday situations.
This collection includes the best stories - topical and scathing, they read like a post in social networks. A subtle sense of humor is combined with deep psychology and sympathy for the characters.
