Description

THREE BESTSELLERS IN ONE VOLUME. A complete edition of the memoirs, witty remarks, and aphorisms of the great actress. As Ranevskaya said: “Beauty is a terrible power. And with every year it gets more and more terrible….” “Money, of course, is filth, but how therapeutic!” “Can’t find such an ass through which we wouldn’t already have done something.” “If life turned to you with your ass—give it a kick in the ass!” “I live with my head held high. And how else, if my throat is full of g—?” But this book is more than a collection of unknown anecdotes and jokes from the respected Soviet Union foul-mouthed, and the people’s mocker who was never shy about language and knew how to make you laugh until you can’t stop. Her punchy jokes quickly became “winged,” and her uncensored revelations, marketplace wisdom, and “harmful advice” are still relevant today. It’s also the confession of a great tragic actress who had to wear a clown’s mask her entire life and only when alone could she laugh through tears—through tears and yet still laugh.
