Two novels bound into one swindle—The Twelve Chairs and The Little Golden Calf—the saga of Ostap Bender, con artist supreme. He prowls post-revolutionary Russia with a grin sharp as a knife, fleecing commissars, priests, and dreamers alike. These aren’t just comic tales, they’re field reports on the art of survival by wit and fraud, where every scheme feels one step from collapse. Read it and you’re sitting at Bender’s table—cards marked, coins vanishing, and somehow you’re laughing even as he empties your pockets
