Golden calf. Ilf I., Petrov E.

The frantic success that Ilya Ilya Ilf and Evgeny Petrov after the publication of “Twelve Chairs” (1928) prompted the co -authors of “resurrect” his hero, the unnecessary and charming swindler of Ostap Bender, and take up the creation of the Roman “The Golden Calf” (1931 ). This time, the Great Combinator is developing an operation to remove money from the underground millionaire Koreiko. Sparkling humor, unexpected turns of the plot, the aphorism of the style and other virtues of the dilogy leave no one indifferent. The novels about Ostap Bender are included in the Golden Fund of Russian Literature.
