Contents: Bricklayer, Good earnings, Forests and pastures, Gypsies, On the light, Lady's bread, Note about the writer
The book represents the author's anthology - the largest part is the novel Čisla (Čisla), followed by the short story Macedonian Criticism of French Thought and several short stories (Odin vog, Akiko, Fokus-grupa, Gost na prazniku bon).
The Golden Calf (1931) is a brilliant satirical picaresque adventure, a sequel to the legendary 12 Chairs, where the great schemer Ostap Bender returns in full glory – charming, cynical, irredeemably cunning and always one step ahead of everyone else.
The plot follows a day in the life of the title character; a prisoner sentenced to 10 years in a gulag somewhere in the Asian part of the Soviet Union in 1951.
