This thin book can stun you. But it will definitely make you laugh! Writers joke too. Especially in his youth. Today Mikhail Weller is one of the most famous and published writers in Russia. A brilliant short story writer, an original philosopher, an ironic and cruel satirist, he knows how to surprise numerous readers. Talent once again revealed a previously unknown facet. Probably, from these stories the path to the humor of the famous “Legends of Nevsky Prospekt” ran. Mischief flows out of them. And it’s good that manuscripts don’t burn.
