Lights of the Big City

Mikhail Zoshchenko — a Russian and Soviet classic, a master of subtle irony and poignant satire. In the book "Lights of the Big City," the central focus is on "Sentimental Stories," in which the author, with his characteristic sly humor and light melancholy, explores human characters and ridicules the vices of society.

The collection is complemented by stories and feuilletons created in the first decades of the existence of the Soviet Union. They reflect the tumultuous city life in the young state, the everyday difficulties and troubles faced by ordinary people.
