The book "The Charms of Culture" contains more than a hundred stories by Mikhail Zoshchenko, the star of young Soviet prose. Their heroes are philistines and bourgeoisie, who look at life through the prism of petty morality, because of which they find themselves in funny or sad situations. For example, the hero of the eponymous story "The Perks of Culture" Vasily Mitrofanovich remains dissatisfied with visiting the theater, because the audience does not like his clothes. In "Nervous People" the quarrel of the inhabitants of the communal apartment because of the kitchen ruff turns into a terrible fight. In "The Burghers" painter Vasya Rastopyrkin, "non-partisan since who knows what year," resents the fact that he was not allowed to ride in the streetcar with a stepladder. And in "Aristocrat" Grigory Ivanovich is disappointed in the chosen one after she eats as many as four cakes in the theater buffet ... Also included in the edition is a voluminous novella "Retribution". The work tells about a woman from the people's environment, who participated in the events of the revolution and the Civil War.
