Mykola Riabchuk. Sto anekdotiv. (One Hundred Anecdotes)

"The well-known writer and journalist, author of several bestselling intellectual books acts in a role somewhat unusual and unexpected for him – as a narrator of jokes. Yet, as the author himself notes, the term "anecdote" is used here in its original ancient Greek meaning still implied today in the West – not in the Russian/soviet one habitual to us. Amusing, and sometimes even sad stories that happened to the author and his friends in different countries and time spaces are described here with the stylistic brilliance characteristic of Ryabchuk and the infallible sense of humor. The book promises its readers good entertainment, and to literary gourmets – also significant joy."
