Leonid Spivak's book "The Country Beyond the Horizon" invites the reader to discover the roads of Ilya Ilf and Yevgeny Petrov in the famous "One-Story America", to see the scale of their literary journey, to learn about some of the mysteries of the book, to reflect on the many convergences and paradoxes in the historical fates of Russia and the United States.
In September 1935, correspondents of the main Soviet newspaper "Pravda" Ilya Ilf and Evgeny Petrov on the steamer "Normandy" crossed the Atlantic. Since that time, researchers have been debating who arranged a long creative trip to the ocean for the writers and whether there was an ideological order for the future book. One of the Parisian Russian newspapers told readers: "Stalin is sending Ilf and Petrov to the land of Coca-Cola." The creators of two famous humorous novels - "The Twelve Chairs" and "The Golden Calf" - were to tell the whole truth about the leading country of the capitalist West. In 1933, the American president was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who established diplomatic relations between the United States and the Soviet Union and did much to bring the two countries closer together. The brief "honeymoon" in relations between Washington and Moscow was marked by an American tour of Russian writers.
