Илюстрации: Иван Газдов. ... "Харесвам фейлетона, обичам го и го пиша, някой път веднъж дневно, друг път веднъж седмично. И като пресметна, сигурно ми се събират няколко хиляди вестникарски текста за тридесет и пет години. В тази книга са събрани малка част от тях. Фейлетон е лист на френски - това му е най-големият недостатък. Веднъж написан, изсъхва като лист отбрулен, щом вестникът се отпечата.

Сатириците по-вярно пишат историята от историците. Иска ... |
