Arkady Averchenko is a wonderful writer-humorist, playwright, theater critic, editor of the most famous satire and humor magazines in pre-revolutionary Russia, Satyricon and New Satyricon. The works of the "king of laughter", as Averchenko's contemporaries called him, stand out for their conciseness, mild humor, elegance of language and subtle psychologism.
The stories included in the book were written at different times. Their characters are people of various ages, professions and social status, and each character lives his own life, shows his own character, outlined by the author concisely and frankly. Literary craftsman Vasily Pokoinikov ("History of a Story") achieves fame by replicating stolen plots, narrow-minded reporter Shmurygin ("Scythe on a Stone") dreams of becoming a witness to an incident and writing a high-profile article, an ambitious accountant of a brick factory ("Debutant") fancies himself an actor, the old malicious official Katushkin ("Insult by action") loves to do nasty things for no reason, the stupid and helpless Verochka ("Pitiful Creature") always gets into ridiculous situations, the active boy Volodka ("Blow Boy") finds a way to earn money and buy a gift for his mother ... Outstanding the mind and the ability to see and hear allowed the author to create vivid, memorable human portraits that arouse the keen interest of readers
