Columbus Comes Ashore and Other Stories

Famous natives of the city of Odessa, the co-authors I. Ilf and E. Petrov worked together for only a short time — about ten years — but how much they created in that time! Perhaps it was enough for them to write only “The Twelve Chairs” to forever etch their names into the history of Russian and world literature. But there were also “The Golden Calf,” “America in a Single Bay,” and “Extraordinary Stories from the Life of the City of Kolokolamsk.” Not to mention numerous stories and novellas, each of which is a masterpiece of literary craft. In this collection, you’ll find an audio version of some of them.
