Product Information
Teffi was one of twentieth century Russia's most celebrated authors. Born Nadezhda Lokhvitskaya in 1872, she came to be admired by an impressive range of people - from Tsar Nicholas II to Lenin - and her popularity was such that sweets and perfume were named after her. She visited Tolstoy when she was 13 to haggle with him about the ending of War and Peace and Rasputin tried (and utterly failed) to seduce her. After the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 she was exiled and lived out her days in the lively Russian émigré community of Paris, where she continued writing - and enjoying comparable fame - until her death in 1952. Teffi's best stories effortlessly shift from light humour and satire to pathos and even tragedy - ever more so when depicting the daunting hardships she and her fellow émigrés suffered in exile. While best known for her stories and feuilletons, she also moved over to other genres, from serious poetry to theatrical miniatures and even music, and inhabited an extraordinary range of spheres connected to both high and popular culture. In the first biography of her in any language, Edythe Haber here brings Teffi - who has recently been 'rediscovered' in the West to resounding acclaim - to life. Teffi's life and works afford a unique panoramic view of the cultural world of early twentieth century Russia, from the debauchery of the Silver Age to the terror and euphoria of revolution, and of interwar Russian emigration. But they also offer fresh insights into the seismic events - from the 1905 Russian Revolution and World War II to life as a refugee - that she experienced first-hand and recreated in her vivid, penetrating, moving and witty writing.

Reviews
Haber is a scrupulous scholar and she has been researching Teffi's life and work for 40 years. She takes nothing for granted and backs all her assertions with definite evidence ... an exemplary biographer., [Haber's] longstanding scholarly interest in Teffi has equipped this biography with an encyclopedic level of detail on every feuilleton and flirtation - two genres in which Teffi was prolific., Edythe Haber has done a splendid job of drawing together all the information about Teffi's life that is currently known to exist - perhaps all that does exist., "Thanks to Haber's extremely meticulous research on Teffi's encounters with Tolstoy, Rasputin, and others, English speakers can finally get a glimpse into a remarkable life." -- Meduza "[Haber's] biography is a masterpiece of sober and diligent scholarship." -- The Observer, "Haber is a scrupulous scholar and she has been researching Teffi's life and work for 40 years. She takes nothing for granted and backs all her assertions with definite evidence ... an exemplary biographer." - Robert Chandler, Los Angeles Review of Books "A masterful and overdue biography... meticulously researched and engagingly narrated." -- CHOICE "[Haber's] biography is a masterpiece of sober and diligent scholarship." -- The Observer "Thanks to Haber's extremely meticulous research on Teffi's encounters with Tolstoy, Rasputin, and others, English speakers can finally get a glimpse into a remarkable life." -- Meduza, "A masterful and overdue biography... meticulously researched and engagingly narrated." -- CHOICE "[Haber's] biography is a masterpiece of sober and diligent scholarship." -- The Observer "Thanks to Haber's extremely meticulous research on Teffi's encounters with Tolstoy, Rasputin, and others, English speakers can finally get a glimpse into a remarkable life." -- Meduza, Edythe Haber's book is a labour of love; she has left no stone unturned in her quest to reconstruct Teffi's story. The book combines sharp insights into Teffi's many varied writings with a warm appreciation of the toughness of her life after she left Russia forever in 1919. It is a fascinating account and it will appeal to Teffi's growing band of admirers, but it also speaks directly to a world where millions once again face the challenges and sorrows of lifelong exile from their homelands. Above all, it's a very good read!, [Haber's] analysis of Teffi's methods -- for instance, the observation that 'the absurdity of the situation makes a tragic end more inappropriate, laughter more suitable' -- can be illuminating., It is Teffi's puckish wit and formidable spirit that defines Edythe Haber's engaging biography as much as her travails ... Haber has pulled off a difficult job with great skill in writing Teffi's life story ... [she] quotes astutely from Teffi's work, much of which is still untranslated and unpublished since first appearing in print, and has a keen ear for her word-games and zingers; Teffi's wit remains unputdownable., Thanks to Haber's extremely meticulous research on Teffi's encounters with Tolstoy, Rasputin, and others, English speakers can finally get a glimpse into a remarkable life.
