L. Voynich is a collection of comedic literary works, likely written in the late 19th century. This compilation presents a selection of humoristic pieces from renowned Russian authors such as Gogol and Shchedrìn, showcasing the unique comedic nuances of Russian literature. The volume aims to introduce readers to both light-hearted and satirical narratives that reflect Russian societal norms, particularly around themes of marriage and personal relationships. At the start of the collection, readers are introduced to a lively dialogue between characters preparing for a marriage arrangement, primarily focusing on Podkolyòssin, an aulic counsellor, who is apprehensive about getting married. He engages in humorous exchanges with his servant Stepàn and his friend Kochkaryòv, revealing his indecisive nature on the subject of matrimony. Additionally, the matchmaker Fèkla Ivànovna is depicted as a bustling character, trying to arrange a suitable match for Podkolyòssin. This opening sets the stage for a comedic exploration of the intricacies and absurdities involved in love and marriage in Russian society, promising a mix of humor and cultural commentary throughout the rest of the collection.
