The two texts are connected by their main character, <a href="/wiki/Ostap_Bender" title="Ostap Bender">Ostap Bender</a>, a <a href="/wiki/Confidence_trick" class="mw-redirect" title="Confidence trick">con man</a> in pursuit of elusive riches. Both books follow exploits of Bender and his associates looking for treasure amidst the contemporary Soviet reality. They were written and are set in the relatively liberal era in Soviet history, the <a href="/wiki/New_Economic_Policy" title="New Economic Policy">New Economic Policy</a> of the 1920s. The main characters generally avoid contact with the apparently lax law enforcement. Their position outside the organized, goal-driven, productive Soviet society is emphasized. It also gives the authors a convenient platform from which to look at this society and to make fun of its less attractive and less Socialist aspects. These are among the most widely read and quoted books in Russian culture. <i>The Twelve Chairs</i> was adapted for <a href="/wiki/The_Twelve_Chairs_(disambiguation)" class="mw-disambig" title="The Twelve Chairs (disambiguation)">ca. twenty movies</a>; in the Soviet Union (by <a href="/wiki/Leonid_Gaidai" title="Leonid Gaidai">Leonid Gaidai</a> and by <a href="/wiki/Mark_Zakharov" title="Mark Zakharov">Mark Zakharov</a>), in the US (in particular by <a href="/wiki/Mel_Brooks" title="Mel Brooks">Mel Brooks</a>) and in other countries. </p><p>From the late 1920s to 1937, the co-authors wrote several theatrical plays and screenplays, as well as many humorous short stories and satirical articles in the magazines <i>Chudak</i>, <i>30 days</i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Krokodil" title="Krokodil">Krokodil</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Ogoniok" title="Ogoniok">Ogoniok</a></i>; and the newspapers <i><a href="/wiki/Pravda" title="Pravda">Pravda</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Literaturnaya_Gazeta" title="Literaturnaya Gazeta">Literaturnaya Gazeta</a></i>. In the first years of joint creativity Ilf and Petrov published their stories and satires under parodic <a href="/wiki/Pseudonym" title="Pseudonym">pseudonyms</a>: <i>Tolstoevsky</i> (composed of the names of writers <a href="/wiki/Leo_Tolstoy" title="Leo Tolstoy">Tolstoy</a> and <a href="/wiki/Fyodor_Dostoevsky" title="Fyodor Dostoevsky">Dostoevsky</a>), <i>Don Busilio</i> (from Don Basilio, a character in the opera <i><a href="/wiki/The_Barber_of_Seville" title="The Barber of Seville">The Barber of Seville</a></i>, and the Russian verb <i>busa</i> – scandal, noise), <i>Cold philosopher</i> and others.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The two writers also traveled across the <a href="/wiki/Great_Depression" title="Great Depression">Great Depression</a>-era United States. Ilf took many pictures throughout the journey, and the authors produced a photo essay entitled "American Photographs", published in <i>Ogoniok</i> magazine.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Shortly after that they published the book <i>Одноэтажная Америка</i> (literally: "One-storied America"), translated as <i>Little Golden America</i><sup id="cite_ref-LGA_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-LGA-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> (an allusion to <i>The Little Golden Calf</i>). The first edition of the book did not include Ilf's photographs. Both the photo essay and the book document their adventures with their characteristic humor and playfulness. Notably, Ilf and Petrov were not afraid to praise many aspects of the American lifestyle in these works while being highly critical of others. The title comes from the following description. </p> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1244412712">.mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 32px}.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;margin-top:0}@media(min-width:500px){.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{padding-left:1.6em}}</style><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>America is primarily a one-and two-storey country.
