Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The Twelve Chairs by Ilya Ilf and Yevgeni Petrov is a lively satirical novel set in the turbulent years following the Russian Revolution. The story begins when Ippolit 'Kisa' Vorobyaninov, a once-comfortable nobleman reduced to a humble clerk, learns from his dying mother-in-law that a fortune in jewels was hidden inside one of the family's twelve dining-room chairs before their estate was seized. Desperate to reclaim his lost wealth and status, he sets off in search of the scattered chairs, now sold and dispersed across the Soviet Union.Kisa soon encounters Ostap Bender, an audacious and quick-witted con artist who becomes his partner in the treasure hunt. Bender's charisma, improvisational genius, and sardonic humor drive much of the novel's energy. Although the two men share the same goal, their partnership is uneasy-Kisa clings to old aristocratic pretensions while Bender represents the new, opportunistic type thriving in Soviet society. Their conflicting personalities create constant friction and comedic tension.As the search progresses, the pair travel through a wide range of Soviet settings: provincial towns, collective farms, bustling cities, and even nomadic theatrical troupes. Each location introduces new characters-bureaucrats, dreamers, swindlers, the pious priest Father Fyodor (who also chases the treasure), and countless eccentrics who embody the contradictions of the early Soviet period. Through these encounters, Ilf and Petrov paint a vivid, humorous portrait of a society undergoing rapid, chaotic transformation.Despite its comedic surface, the novel carries a deeper critique of human nature and social change. The chairs, scattered and elusive, symbolize both the absurdity of clinging to the past and the futility of chasing quick riches in the new regime. Kisa's nostalgia and Bender's cunning ultimately lead them into disappointment rather than fortune. By blending adventure, satire, and social observation, The Twelve Chairs remains a classic work that captures the spirit and contradictions of Soviet life with enduring wit and insight.…
