This collection by Nikolai Alexandrovich Leykin, a classic satirist of the late 19th century, as always, offers an abundance of everyday details and timeless anecdotes, while the stories' themes remain timeless. The tyranny of the rich, emotional blackmail used to extort money (both by children and by the "suitors" of naive women), the frivolity of young girls, and excessive talkativeness. The author also touches on such topics that remain relevant today as strange fellow travelers on trains, behavior in queues, the passionate desire to carouse, and ubiquitous drunkenness. The subjects themselves are hardly funny, but that is the strength of a talented humorist: not only to expose the vices of society but also to do so humorously. The collection concludes with a lengthy story interspersed with hilarious parodies of N.A. Leykin's contemporaries.
