Fisher. Fisher, the most gifted interpreter of Ilf and Petrov in the English language, balances fidelity to the text and the authors’ characteristic, deeply resonant humour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo translator knows Ilf and Petrov like Anne Fisher. \u003ci\u003eThe Twelve Chairs\u003c\/i\u003e is a ruthless skewering of Soviet and Russian culture and society that is as relevant (and funny) today as when it was published in 1928.
