Leather-bound books "The Twelve Chairs and the Golden Calf" by Ilf I. A. Petrov E. P.
"The Twelve Chairs" is the first novel by Ilf and Petrov, which has become perhaps the funniest and wittiest work in Russian literature. This novel, written almost a century ago, is still widely known — quotes from the novel are known even to those who have not read a single page of the text. The story of how Ostap Bender and his partner Kisa Vorobyaninov are trying to find diamonds hidden in one of the twelve chairs of the furniture set has become a truly "folk classic."
"The Golden Calf" is a continuation of the legendary novel "The Twelve Chairs", in which, according to the will of the authors, their favorite hero, the charming and resourceful conman Ostap Bender, has "risen", this time dreaming of taking five hundred thousand at once "on a silver platter" and leaving for Rio de Janeiro.… Which of the "400 relatively honest ways to withdraw money" will the Great Combinator choose to pull off this complex operation?
Both novels have been adapted into films more than once and remain relevant for many generations of readers.
