Summary:
Considered Teffi's single greatest work, this is a deeply personal account of the author's last months in Russia and Ukraine, suffused with her acute awareness of the political currents churning around her, many of which have now resurfaced. In 1918, in the immediate aftermath of the Russian Revolution, Teffi, whose stories and journalism had made her a celebrity in Moscow, was invited to read from her work in Ukraine. She accepted the invitation eagerly, though she had every intention of returning home. As it happened, her trip ended four years later in Paris, where she would spend the rest of her life in exile. Teffi (1872, Saint Petersburg - 1952, Paris) was a Russian humorist writer. Teffi is a pseudonym. Her real name was Nadezhda Alexandrovna Lokhvitskaya; after her marriage Nadezhda Alexandrovna Buchinskaya. She was a contributor to the first Bolshevik journal The New Life, whose editorial board included writers like Maxim Gorky and Zinaida Gippius. Her best work appeared in the Satiricon magazine and in the popular journal Russkoye Slovo (Russian Word). In Russia she published many collections of poetry and short stories, and a number of one-act plays. In 1920, she settled in Paris and began publishing her works in the Russian newspapers there. In exile, she published several collections of short stories and poems, a volume of memoirs, and her only novel An Adventure Novel (1932).
