Ilf and Petrov's novel "The Twelve Chairs" is rightfully considered the standard of satire and humor. Unanimously loved by all readers, this novel was included in the "golden fund" of Russian and world literature. The search for Madame Petukhova's diamonds hidden in one of the chairs of the furniture set is a story that still evokes a sincere smile. The names of the characters — charming adventurers — have become household names, and the novel itself has been quoted, withstanding hundreds of successful reprints and deservedly gaining fame as an unfading bestseller.
