Description

The satirical cycle “1001 Days, or the New Scheherazade” by Ilf and Petrov draws on real facts from the 1920s and conveys the atmosphere of that time—frightening in its absurdity: the absurdity of public order, the all-power of bureaucracy, and everyday disarray. The edition also includes vivid, witty novels: “The Bright Person” and “Extraordinary Stories from the Life of the City of Kolokolamsk,” as well as vaudevilles, screenwriting works, and credits for the film “The Holiday of Saint Jorgen.” Special attention should be given to the “Notebooks” of Ilf and the memories about him, written by Petrov, published here.
