An ironic, heartfelt, inspiring story about what it means to be a woman in the 19th century. The beautiful Vera Mikulich wrote a very honest, but at the same time caustic and funny book about the lives of her contemporaries. The questions that so excite the mind and heart of sweet Mimochka are so acute that, no doubt, they will resonate in the souls of young ladies of the 21st century.It's time to become a confident Maria Ilyinichnaya, not a naive Mimochka!Poor Mimi doesn't belong to herself. Mom controls her every step: what to wear, what books to read, who to communicate with, and who not. Meanwhile, Daddy chooses the boarding school where he should study, as well as the groom whom Mimi will marry.Such deceitful high society dictates fashion and forces Mimochka to enjoy family life with an elderly boring husband. And Mimochka is really trying. She tries to be an exemplary wife, a caring mother, and a true lady. But her heart is empty. But suddenly a trip to the waters happens, where Mimi finally feels a taste of freedom. And now she's ready to challenge society.A bright and fascinating satirical Russian classic in a gift box! The witty and still topical trilogy of novels "Mimochka" is collected in one hardcover book with embossed gold elements on the cover and colorful flyleaf and paragraph. This bold women's prose of the 19th century is a book about femininity, love, a woman's place in society and the search for herself, a book about life offering a unique look at the history of the Russian Empire and understanding the status and relationship between a man and a woman of those times. Russian Russian literature is a great gift for women of all ages — sisters, mothers, grandmothers, girlfriends, as well as those who appreciate high—quality fiction and love the humorous stories of Taffy and Mikhail Zoshchenko, as well as other books by Russian writers. Naive Mimochka dreams of a wonderful life, a handsome groom and gorgeous fashionable outfits. Finding a suitable match for your daughter is the main task of mom and dad. And finally Mimochka is the bride! And even if the groom is not very young, perhaps too fat, and, frankly, bald, but with a general's rank and respect in society.Paris, luxurious dresses and jewelry – everything that Mimi dreamed of so much has come true. But the poor thing is bored and wasting away, like a delicate rose on a winter day. To improve her health, she is sent to the waters, and there she commits something that cannot be expected from a decent married woman — adultery.But is it really all going to end with deception and a clever social game? After all, her husband and baby are waiting for her in St. Petersburg.And why didn't anyone ask what Mimochka wanted?And she wants true love, true feelings, joy, and life."Mimochka" is a brilliant example of Russian satire, written long before Taffy and Mikhail Zoshchenko – caustic, funny, but at the same time without malice.V. Mikulich spoke very aptly and ironically about the life of a woman of the 19th century. The questions that so excite the mind and heart of sweet Mimi are so acute that, no doubt, they will resonate in the souls of young ladies of the 21st century.
