Description
A classic of Soviet literature.
From the authors of the novels “Twelve Chairs” and “The Golden Calf”!
This edition includes works written during the co-authors’ most mature creative period—between 1929 and 1934.
Such an unusual creative collaboration between Ilf and Petrov never ceases to move and excite the reader; the memory of them doesn’t fade, and the love for their books doesn’t weaken. Working together for a short time (only ten years), the co-authors left behind a huge body of literary masterpieces of the most diverse genres.
The works included in this collection were written in the period that separated “Twelve Chairs” from “The Golden Calf,” and also during a more mature creative period of the satirists’ co-authorship—from 1929 to 1934. By exposing bourgeois philistinism, flattery, and bureaucracy, the satirists stood against hypocrisy in art and literature, against literary opportunism and “strict citizens” who believed that “laughter is harmful” and that “satire can’t be funny.”
Re-reading these undying masterpieces, it’s impossible not to admire the variety of the writers’ creative talents, and the literary brilliance of their feuilletons, sketches, and comedies.
