"The Twelve Chairs" (1927) is a novel written almost a century ago, but it seems that quite recently. Everyone quotes him, even those who have not read a single page of the text and have not watched a single film adaptation, and there have already been quite a few of them. Ostap Bender, the Great Combinator, has become a household name, and monuments are erected to him all over Russia. The story about how Bender, together with his "partner" Kisa Vorobyaninov, are trying to find Madame Petukhova's diamonds, hidden in one of the 12 chairs of a furniture set, has become a truly "folk classic". The novel has been reprinted in Russia almost 200 times, it has been translated into many languages, although it is quite difficult to convey the humor with which this amazing book is oversaturated in every sense. A book that has not yet been completely unraveled: why did Valentin Kataev suggest this story to two little-known journalists from Odessa, do the heroes have prototypes, who is hiding behind the figure of Ostap Bender? Perhaps these mysteries will forever remain mysteries. And "the meeting continues, gentlemen of the jury"!
