Three Fat Men. Drawings by L. Vladimirskiy

Yuriy Olesha wrote "Three Fat Men" in 1924. For almost a hundred years now, boys and girls have been empathizing with the gunsmith Prospero, worrying about the brave Suok, and believing in the gymnast Tibul. This story is not so much about revolution as it is about desperate, brave people who boldly transform the world. The novel has inspired plays, films, and radio performances. Drawings by the Honored Artist of RSFSR Leonid Vladimirskiy. For middle school age.
