Teffi never was in Africa herself, but the image of the African was readily available in her works. Teffi’s perspective on Africa was indirectly related to the tradition of travel literature, according to which Africa tempted by its diversity and exoticism.

The lexical material was collected on the basis of the following sources: Volume Memories, essays and stories, published in the collection of short stories Рысь and Городок.
