Sigizmond Korzhanovsky (1887-1950), a great Russian writer and playwright, can be called the "crossed-out master"

This book collects 18 philosophical and fantasy stories written by Russian writer Korzhanovsky between 1920 and 1940. He examines history, God, philosophy, the Soviet system and the fate of writers with an extremely ironic eye. Compared with the hard and dark stories in his previous works "Memories of the Future" and "Autobiography of a Skull", "Uninformed Street" is undoubtedly much lighter: a pair of pants whose owner is dead rushed to work and soon had his own office and secretary; an ancient goblet that automatically filled with wine seduced its owner; a hypnotist tried to turn a fly into an elephant, but the result was counterproductive; a philosopher's free-floating thoughts struggled with the fate of being printed on books and buried in piles of books; a politician became a chess master, and his soul was eventually imprisoned in a chess piece; a parrot traveled from Austria before the First World War to the Soviet Union, watching the ups and downs of the world with a cold and beautiful look
