America of the 1930s through the eyes of two renowned satirical writers.

Luxurious Hollywood of the "golden age", Bohemian San Francisco and New Orleans, the cradle of gangster clans — the reckless Chicago, incomparable New York in all its glory and poverty, exotic Indian reservations, quiet provincial towns…

For Ilf and Petrov, everything that is now familiar to us seemed new and unfamiliar — tomato juice and hamburgers, refrigerators and vibromassagers, car dealerships and promotional campaigns, striptease in nightclubs and, of course, the sensational innovation of the 30s alcohol industry — beer in cans.

Perhaps that is why their book now evokes not only laughter but also a nostalgic smile from the reader.
