Description
Brilliant satirical novellas “The Extraordinary Tales from the Life of the Town of Kolokolamsk” depict the everyday life of a city invented by Ilf and Petrov. Its inhabitants—typical Soviet petty bourgeois—faithfully follow directives from higher authorities, putting new trends of ideology into practice and, as often happens, stupidly distorting them into absurdity.
In the story cycle “1001 Days, or The New Scheherazade,” the office clerk of the general office of the company that supplies Claws and Tails—Scheherazade Fyodorovna Shaytanova—relates to the boss unbelievable tales with follow-ups, just like her famous namesake, trying in this way to avoid dismissal.
The edition also includes the story “The Past of the Registrar of the Civil Registry Office”—a chapter that did not make it into the novel “Twelve Chairs.”
