Twelve Chairs - A Novel

Informationen zum Autor ILYA ILF (1837-1937) and EVGENY PETROV (1903-1942) met in Moscow in 1925 and wrote this novel from a plot idea suggested to them by Kataev's famous brother, the novelist Valentin. Their subsequent joint works - including The Golden Calf (1931) and One-Storey High America (1936) - were equally popular in Russia. ANNE O. FISHER translated Ilya Ilf and Evgeny Petrov's The Little Golden Calf (2009), awarded the 2011 AATSEEL Book Prize for Best Translation into English, and Ilf and Petrov's American Road Trip: The 1935 Travelogue of Two Soviet Writers (2007), short-listed for the 2007 Rossica prize . She lives in San Francisco. Zusammenfassung Long recognised as a timeless comic masterpiece—it inspired a Mel Brooks film a half century after its publication—The Twelve Chairs appears now in a lively new translation by Anne O. Fisher. Fisher, the most gifted interpreter of Ilf and Petrov in the English language, balances fidelity to the text and the authors’ characteristic, deeply resonant humour.
