The satirical cycle by Ilf and Petrov “1001 Days, or the New Scheherazade” is based on real episodes from the 1920s—the period when public order seemed absurd, paperwork had all the power, and everyday life was in disarray. In addition to these novellas, the edition includes vivid and witty novels: “The Bright Person” and “Extraordinary Stories from the Life of the City of Kolokolamsk,” as well as vaudevilles, film scripts, and credits for the film “The Holiday of Saint Jorgen.” A special value is the “Notebooks” of I. Iльf placed here and the memories about him written by E. Petrov.
