1001 Days, or the New Scheherazade

At the Moscow office for procuring Claws and Tails, hard times are coming. As a result of the “battle of titans”—between the head of the office, Pavel Venediktovich Fanatyuk, and his deputy Satan’yuk—Fanatyuk won. He decided to fire all supporters of his opponent, including the office paperwork clerk Shaherezada Fedorovna Shaitanova. To avoid being dismissed, she starts telling the boss various entertaining stories from the life of the office. Will this clever plan help Shaherezada keep her position? You’ll find out by listening to the audiobook. We’ll add a note of our own: after a while, not for long at that, Fanatyuk was appointed to the city of Kolokolamsk as the city photographer. But that’s a completely different story, told by the audiobook “Unusual Stories from the Life of the City of Kolokolamsk.”
