Vladimir Voinovich in 2 volumes

Crimson Pelican

Emperor Nicholas I clapped and laughed a lot during the performance of The Inspector General, and when leaving the box, he said: “Well, a play! Everyone enjoyed it, and I enjoyed it more than anyone else!” Every student knows about this episode. Anyone who considers himself smart, having read “The Crimson Pelican” by V. Voinovich, will not laugh much, but will say: “Well, it’s a novel! Everyone enjoyed it, and I enjoyed it more than anyone else!” And maybe after this something will really change for the better in Russian life.

Factor Murzilka

This book includes hits of short prose by Vladimir Voinovich, as well as a new story - "The Murzik Factor". In fact, this is the first part of the novel that the author writes. Already now, based on one episode, one can say about the upcoming new product: “A very timely thing!” In "The Murzik Factor", as always, there are recognizable human types, an accurate diagnosis of the times and the writer's signature laughter. This is a story about what can happen to us in the very near future, or maybe is already happening in the present. Vladimir Voinovich celebrates his 85th birthday in brilliant form: his talent, vigilance, sense of humor, ability for vision and love have not failed.
