A first UK edition first printing which comes complete with the publisher’s press release. “The Soviet Union, 1983: if you want to get ahead, don’t succeed too much. The book shows how, under a repressive system of government it is very hard for the average person to remain honest. It is even harder for our two heroes, who must face down the triple threat of jealous rivals, the mysterious Guild of Master Picklers and the numble pickle worm. Through these escapades, they must keep up their spirits by inventing new ways to insult the intelligence of each other and of anyone else who will listen.” Made in Yaroslavl is a brilliant satire that takes you on a rip-roaring adventure through the heart of the Soviet empire.
