The Three Fat Men. Envy

Two works by Yuri Olesha in one cover. In a distant fairy tale country, the Three Fat Men come to power — treacherous monopolists who have taken control of bread trade, the coal industry, and heavy metallurgy. While the Fat Men indulge in luxury in the courtyard and fully control the heir to the throne, young Tutti, the simple people live in hunger. Gradually, a revolution is brewing in the country, led by gunsmith Prospero and aerial gymnast Tibul. This edition also includes the dramatic novel "Envy," dedicated to the fate of the intelligentsia in industrial Soviet Russia
