Vladimir Voinovich: The Life and Extraordinary Adventures of Soldier Ivan Chonkin
The usual price $27.95Ivan Chonkin is one of the most beloved characters in Russian-language literature. He can only be compared with his Czech “colleague”, the brave soldier Schweik, but even this awkward hero is inferior to Chonkin in the improbability of adventures and the absurdity of the surrounding (Soviet) reality.
What does not happen to this short, bow-legged warrior! Both Stalin and Hitler learn about his incredible adventures, and at the same time he is sentenced to death as an ardent enemy of Soviet power and to an honorary award for selfless service to the Motherland. Chonkin becomes an unwitting participant in terrible behind-the-scenes intrigues and, in the end, gets to America itself!
