"There is a good place where we are not: we are no longer in the past, and it seems beautiful," wrote Anton Chekhov. Far from disputing this statement, the authors of the famous "Universal History, Processed by the Satiricon" offer readers their view of the past. It has the same depth and coherence as the works of serious scholars, but with much less adoration and much more room for creative interpretation of past centuries. The elegant irony, sarcasm, and magnificent humor of Arkady Averchenko, Osip D'Or, and Nadezhda Teffi break down established clichés about historical figures, slightly tarnish the gloss of their portraits, and offer a different perspective on well-known events. The book not only helps to remember facts from the past but also to analyze them, forming a critical approach. Moreover, this magnificent literary work by three famous writers, once so famous and fashionable that it was considered improper not to know it in good society. The book will be interesting and useful for all history and literature enthusiasts.
