"Golden Russia Series (14): Brooch" Among the writers of Russia's "Silver Age", Teifei is not well-known to Chinese readers. In fact, before the October Revolution, Teffy was already a famous Russian short story writer. Her works are known for their humor and satire, with sharp writing style and fresh writing. Some of the short stories selected in this book were Teffy's works written in her motherland before her exile, and some were written while she was in exile in Europe. In these works, we can see that from the gentlemen and ladies of the upper class to the maids and workers, Teffy has made detailed and in-depth observations and reflections on them. She uses pungent and ironic humor to describe various situations in the world, and her works can be described as human comedies. But Teffy is not limited to satire. After she peels off the mask of life and reveals the bloody truth, she also gives deep sympathy to the small individuals in the big world and big era. It can be said that this is the most shining point in Teffy's humorous novels.
