«Returned Youth» (1933) is one of the most unusual works by the famous satirist writer M. M. Zoshchenko. The purpose of this book is to help people going through a «midlife crisis» and having lost their taste for life regain novelty and freshness of life sensations. The listener will find here both a familiar satirical novella, and psychological sketches, and the author’s reflections on a person’s moral and physical health and on the fates of outstanding individuals—along with practical advice on how to overcome constant stress and fatigue. The novella «Returned Youth» and the writer’s conclusions were highly appreciated by the great Russian scientist-physiologist, academician I. P. Pavlov. This book is about the spiritual victory of a person over their own weakness.
