The Merry Fellow: Humorous Stories

Ilya Ilf and Yevgeny Petrov are known above all as the authors of the famous novels "The Twelve Chairs" and "The Golden Calf".

However, in the writers’ creative legacy there are also dozens of funny stories, feuilletons, and satirical novellas “about all sorts of oddities and blunders,” where a kind smile combines with a sharp sarcasm, a biting satire with gentle irony, and a cutting parody with cheerful mischief.
