Winner, 2012 Northern California Book Award for Fiction in Translation

More faithful to the original text and its deeply resonant humor, this new translation of The Twelve Chairs brings Ilf and Petrov's Russian classic fully to life. The novel's iconic hero, Ostap Bender, an unemployed con artist living by his wits, joins forces with Ippolit Matveyevich Vorobyaninov, a former nobleman who has returned to his hometown to look for a cache of missing jewels hidden in chairs that have been appropriated by the Soviet authorities. The search for the chairs takes them from the provinces of Moscow to the wilds of the Transcaucasus mountains. On their quest they encounter a variety of characters, from opportunistic Soviet bureaucrats to aging survivors of the old propertied classes, each one more selfish, venal, and bungling than the last. A brilliant satire of the early years of the Soviet Union, as well as the inspiration for a Mel Brooks film, The Twelve Chairs retains its universal appeal.

Charlie was better
Color: Ivy Green
The zipper, which is why I bought it, doesn't work well, gets stuck and damages bills. I used a Charlie before, and although it was more compact, it fit more cards and was generally more convenient.

The best of the basics
Color: Ivy Green
Simple and on point. Minimalistic. One side for cash, folded in half. Other side 3 slots can comfortably fit 4 cards: ID / bank & or credit card / costco card. Any more than 4 gets a little harder to pull out. But dont worry, thats what the zipper pocket is for. Maybe just a few more tho, like health insurance cards. For just the basics.

Perfect for a minimalist
Color: Ivy Green
My husband had this exact wallet for 8 years. It was still functional and used daily. I got him this replacement and he was beyond excited. Said that it was his favorite Christmas gift lol. The durability and function of this minimalist wallet is unmatched. Love the color too!
