For the first time, all three lifetime poetry collections of Nadezhda Aleksandrovna Teffi (1872–1952) are published in full in one book: “Seven Lights” (1910), “Passiflora” (1923) and “Shamram: Songs of the East” (1923), including the one included into the first collection and never reprinted play “The Afternoon of the Zohara: The Legend of Babylon.” Teffi was crowned during her lifetime with the title of “Queen of Russian Laughter” and is popular among readers mainly in this capacity. A selection of satirical and lyrical poems from pre-revolutionary and emigrant periodicals, little-known stories and plays, and memoirs will expand the understanding of the multifaceted talent of the writer.
