Description
Almost simultaneously with the novel “Twelve Chairs,” Ilya Ilf and Yevgeny Petrov created an exceptionally witty and sparkling novella “Bright Personality,” mocking the life of townspeople in the provincial town of Pishcheslavl.
In the provincial town of Pishcheslav, where bureaucracy, careerism, family connections, and swagger flourish in full bloom, incredible events unfold. The culprit is an inventor named Babskiy. His pimple soap—“vesnunelin”—made quite a commotion after one of the townspeople, Egor Filurin, accidentally washed himself with vesunolin. He became invisible and gained the ability to enter all the town’s institutions unnoticed.
