More about the book

И. Ильф и Е. Петров завершили роман «Двенадцать стульев» в 1928 году, но еще до первой публикации цензоры изрядно сократили, «почистили» его. Правка продолжалась от издания к изданию еще десять лет. В итоге книга уменьшилась почти на треть. Публикуемый ныне вариант — первый полный — реконструирован по архивным материалам. Книга снабжена обширным историко-литературным и реальным комментарием. * Ostap Bender is an unemployed con artist living by his wits in postrevolutionary Soviet Russia. He joins forces with Ippolit Matveyevich Vorobyaninov, a former nobleman who has returned to his hometown to find a cache of missing jewels which were hidden in some chairs that have been appropriated by the Soviet authorities. The search for the bejeweled chairs takes these unlikely heroes from the provinces to Moscow to the wilds of Soviet Georgia and the Trans-caucasus mountains; on their quest they encounter a wide variety of characters: from opportunistic Soviet bureaucrats to aging survivors of the prerevolutionary propertied classes, each one more selfish, venal, and ineffective than the one before.
