These stories, taken from the whole of her career, show the full range of her gifts. Extremely funny-a wry, scathing observer of society-she is also capable, as capable even as Chekhov, of miraculous subtlety and depth of character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are stories here from her own life (as a child, going to meet Tolstoy to plead for the life of War and Peace's Prince Bolkonsky, or, much later, her strange, charged meetings with the already-legendary Rasputin). There are stories of émigré society, its members held together by mutual repulsion. There are stories of people misunderstanding each other or misrepresenting themselves. And throughout there is a sly, sardonic wit and a deep, compelling intelligence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePushkin Collection editions feature a spare, elegant series style and superior, durable components. The Collection is typeset in Monotype Baskerville, litho-printed on Munken Premium White Paper and notch-bound by the independently owned printer TJ International in Padstow. The covers, with French flaps, are printed on Colorplan Pristine White Paper. Both paper and cover board are acid-free and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Teffi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52054333555009,"sku":null,"price":1200.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/3087\/9041\/files\/56_04456399-abcd-4888-ae6a-1a04197d8fd8.webp?v=1785922068","url":"https:\/\/www.bookemporium.pk\/products\/subtly-worded-pushkin-collection","provider":"The Book Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
