Twelve Chairs
Winner, 2012 Northern California Book Award for Fiction in TranslationMore faithful to the original text and its deeply resonant humor, this new translation of The Twelve Chairs brings Ilf and Petrov's Russian classic fully to life. The search for the chairs takes them from the provinces of Moscow to the wilds of the Transcaucasus mountains. The novel's iconic hero, Ostap Bender, an unemployed con artist living by his wits, joins forces with Ippolit Matveyevich Vorobyaninov, a former nobleman who has returned to his hometown to look for a cache of missing jewels hidden in chairs that have been appropriated by the Soviet authorities.
A brilliant satire On their quest they encounter a variety of characters, from opportunistic Soviet bureaucrats to aging survivors of the old propertied classes, each one more selfish, venal, and bungling than the last.
