Readers will find not only rare and little-known pages from Faina Ranevskaya’s life, but also a selection of her sharpest, most biting, and brilliantly witty aphorisms.
Andrey Shlyakhov is an author working at the intersection of humorous prose, biography, and memoir writing. In his books, a significant place is given to investigating the fate of vivid, ambiguous historical figures and outstanding people. “Ranevskaya.
