The Twelve Chairs. The Golden Calf. Collectible Illustrated Edition

Have you read the novels "The Twelve Chairs" and "The Golden Calf"? Anyone would say: "Of course, I have!" We would say: "Of course, you haven't!" Because in the editions from the Soviet era, the novels are presented in the... form that was "allowed" by editors and Soviet censorship. In the new collectible edition, the immortal works of Ilya Ilf and Yevgeny Petrov about the "great combinator" Ostap Bender are reproduced in the author's version, restored by Alexandra Ilyinichna Ilf. Fragments published in their first editions have been returned to the texts of the novels, and a number of materials from handwritten and typewritten versions of the works have also been included. Thanks to the magnificent photographs by Ilya Ilf and other unique photo artists, the book will transport you to the atmosphere of old Russia and old Moscow, at the time when the events of the novels unfold, in the 1920s and 1930s of the last century.
