Description

An ironic collection of sketches takes the reader into the vibrant world of pre-revolutionary St. Petersburg. Confronted with a financial crisis, petty bourgeois, merchants, and ordinary townspeople go to any lengths to get rich or marry advantageously. Sharp satire deftly mocks the eternal human vices, relevant in every age.
