"The Twelve Chairs" (1927) - a novel written almost a century ago, and it seems to be quite recent. It is quoted by everyone, even those who have not read a page of the text and have not seen a single film adaptation, and there have been many. Ostap Bender, the Great Combinator, has become a household name, and monuments are erected to him all over Russia. The story of how Bender and his "partner" Kisa Vorobyaninov try to find the diamonds of Madame Petukhova, hidden in one of the 12 chairs of the furniture set, has become a truly "folk classic". The novel was reprinted in Russia almost 200 times, it is translated into many languages, although it is quite difficult to convey the humor that is saturated with this amazing in every sense of the book. The book, which is still not completely solved: why Valentin Kataev proposed this plot to two little-known journalists from Odessa, whether the heroes have prototypes, who hides behind the figure of Ostap Bender? Perhaps these riddles will remain riddles forever. And "the session continues, gentlemen of the jury"!
