Odnoetazhnaia Amerika - Il'f Il'ia, Petrov Evgenii

America 1930s through the eyes of two famous satirical writers.
Luxury Hollywood "golden age", bohemian San Francisco and New Orleans, the cradle of gangster clans - dashing Chicago, incomparable New York in all its brilliance and poverty, exotic Indian reservations, quiet provincial towns ...
Ilfu and Petrov seemed new and unfamiliar all that has become familiar to us now - tomato juice and burgers, refrigerators and vibrators, car dealerships and promotions, striptease in nightclubs and, of course, a sensational novelty of the alcoprom of the 30s - beer in banks.
Perhaps that is why their book now causes the reader not only laughter, but also a nostalgic smile.
