Ilf and Petrov's celebrated satirical novel "The Twelve Chairs" was first published in 1928 and is now considered one of the most iconic works of 20th-century Russian literature. The story of two con men who set out in search of Madame Petukhova's diamonds has enjoyed enduring popularity with readers. The novel, which has seen hundreds of reprints, is rarely published with the magnificent illustrations created by the Kukryniksy brothers.

This edition is a reprint of the 1968 edition. It offers an opportunity to discover the remarkable work of Mikhail Kupriyanov, Porfiry Krylov, and Nikolai Sokolov, better known by their resonant collective pseudonym. These outstanding cartoonists, classics of book illustration, not only managed to convey the atmosphere of the 1920s, but their creative style proved incredibly resonant with the sparkling satire of Ilf and Petrov.
