An intriguing, fabulously bizarre debut collection of short stories by prize-winning German writer Ingo Schulze, author of Simple Stories.

These thirty-three macabre, often comical short pieces revolve around moments of odd bliss-moments seized by characters who have found ways to conquer the bleakness of everyday life in the chaotic world of post-communist Russia.

Peopled by Mafia gunmen, desperate young prostitutes, bewildered foreign businessmen, and even a trio of hungry devils, the stories are by turns tragic and bleakly funny. From a sly retelling of the legend of St. Nicholas featuring a rich American named Nick, to a lavish gourmet feast in which the young female cook ends up as the main dish, these stories are above all playful and even surreal-and many of them are masterful tributes to Russian writers from Gogol to Nabokov.

Translated by John E. Woods.

finally organized all my jewerly!
Color: Black
This jewelry box completely transformed the way I store and access my accessories. It’s not just functional, it’s genuinely beautiful, with a sleek design that looks great on my dresser. The exterior feels sturdy and well-made, and the interior is soft and luxurious, keeping all my pieces protected and tangle-free. There’s a perfect place for everything: rings, earrings, necklaces, and even watches or bracelets. I especially love the multiple compartments and drawers, which make it easy to separate everyday items from special pieces. No more digging around or untangling chains! The mirror inside is a thoughtful touch, and the box itself feels compact enough for smaller spaces while still holding a surprising amount. It’s one of those things that makes daily routines feel a little more put-together. If you’re looking for a jewelry box that’s practical, elegant, and gift-worthy, this one checks every box. Great for personal use or as a thoughtful present.

Prefect Travel Case
Color: Black, Color: Black
I got this for taking my jewelry on the go. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by the quality it feels very sturdy. It has several spots to hold jewelry and keep it organized. The outside is textured and it closes with a snap which can be done easily.
