Yury Olesha wrote "The Three Fat Men" in 1924. For nearly a hundred years now, boys and girls have empathized with Prospero the gunsmith, worried for the brave Suok, and believed in Tibul the gymnast. This story is less about revolution and more about desperate, courageous people boldly transforming the world. The novel has been adapted for the stage, made into films, and recorded as radio plays. Illustrations by Honored Artist of the RSFSR Leonid Vladimirsky. For middle school age.
Dr. Gaspar Arneri's day began as usual: he set out to gather medicinal herbs. But from then on, events unfolded rapidly and unpredictably. An uprising was brewing in the country. The doctor fell from a tower, tested a new invention, and received orders to resurrect the beloved but hopelessly broken doll of the heir to the throne. And his head would be on the line if the heir, Tutti, did not receive his toy!
