From the authors of the cult books “The Twelve Chairs” and “The Golden Calf”!
A book that inspired Vladimir Pozner and Ivan Urgant (and thousands of their followers) to travel to America “in the footsteps of Ilf and Petrov”!
In just three and a half months, the authors and their amazing companions, Mr. and Mrs. Adams, crossed the entire country end to end twice—from New York to Los Angeles and back.
Interesting and funny stories and observations, encounters with all kinds of people, amusing incidents, a description of Americans’ way of life, American service, American roads, American cinema, and many other fascinating things. And everything is told with the characteristic dynamism and humor of Ilf and Petrov.
Fantastically intriguing—compare America of the 1930s with modern Russia!!!
