Summary/Abstract: The “The Carriage” was written in 1935. “The Carriage” internal structure is divided into two parts. The first of these two parts describes the town of B where things are terribly boring and there is not a single person on the street.The second part tells a story about the landowner Chertokutsky and the "experience" that happened to him. The plot depicts a small country town recreating the atmosphere and the way of life of the characters in the story. The town is reviving and changes its appearance. This anecdote, as well as other published comic short stories of the writer, reflect the unique humorous culture and image of absurd reality.
