Description: A fairy tale story (according to other sources - a fairy tale novel) by Yuri Olesha. The book tells about the revolution raised by the poor, led by the armorer Prospero and the gymnast Tibulus, against the rich (“fat men”) in a fictional country. The story is written in beautiful figurative language and still does not lose popularity. “Three Fat Men” is Olesha’s first prose work. The fairy tale novel was written in 1924 and dedicated to the writer’s wife, Olga Suok. In fact, this work is the first fairy tale about revolution in Soviet literature, which reflected the author’s true belief that humanity will sooner or later take the path of renewal, which will affect both the natural world and the world of feelings. The true reason for the creation of the fairy tale is Olesha’s unrequited love for Suok, who breaks up with him during this period of his work. The author carefully hides the personal drama behind the story about... the revolution.
