Diary of a provincial lady. Delafield E.

For the first time in Russian - a masterpiece of British humorous prose of the 20th century, “one of the most hilarious, sophisticated and pretty books that you will only read” (Guardian). The nameless heroine E. M. Delafield, who has many autobiographical features, scrupulously fixes in his diary the everyday “fight against arrogant neighbors, a taciturn husband and obstinate hyacinths” (Independent). The “provincial lady” from the county of Devonshire is trying to keep the household from crawling to chaos, children - from unnecessary atrocities, and the servant - from dismissal. Not to mention the fact that you should not hit the mud in front of Lady Box with her “Bentley” and an extensive estate - well, and, finally, win a literary competition in the feminist magazine “Time does not wait.”
