Его первый роман "Люди как боги" отвергли подряд сразу четыре издательства, потому что в обществе будущего, которое он создал в своем произведении, ощущалась явная нехватка коммунистической идеологии. И все-таки именно этот роман, впоследствии переведенный на восемь языков, принес писателю мировую известность. В сборнике Памфлеты мы хотели бы представить вам менее известные, но от этого не менее интересные произведения писателя, написанные в стиле политической сатиры.

All across Britain, a generation of grown-up children are graduating from university, moving back in to their old bedrooms and showing their gratitude by berating their parents for their out-of-date politics. But for proud and high-profile left-wingers Emma and Eddie Hughes, the return of their only child is a far greater challenge than they ever could have anticipated. Young Dylan had warned them there was something personal he needed to tell them, but nothing could have prepared his right-on parents for the shocking revelation he delivers. Their son is a Conservative.

Story
A humorous tale of a fictional scholar from the 4th century, and his skull. The inspiration for the story stemmed from the mistaken belief of Maurice W. Moego's students that "ibid." (an abbreviation for the Latin "ibidem," meaning "in the same place") was the author's surname. The piece, in the process, serves as a satire on academic erudition and the meticulousness of scholarly work.

Story
Дьяволиада — сатирическая повесть знаменитого русского писателя, драматурга и театрального деятеля Михаила Афанасьевича Булгакова (1891–1940). Товарищ Коротков служит делопроизводителем на спичечном заводе и вполне уверен в завтрашнем дне. Но в один прекрасный день сотрудникам завода объявляют, что жалованья не будет — денег нет. А еще через пару дней жалованье все-таки дают, но не деньгами, а... спичками. Славу и признание Михаилу Булгакову принесли его произведения "Богема", "В кафе", "Красная корона", "Воспоминание", "Вьюга", "Грядущие перспективы", "День нашей жизни", "Пропавший глаз", "Звёздная сыпь", "О пользе алкоголизма".

Story
Злобных дух, обитающий в Кентервильском замке, любит пугать всех, кто осмелится заселиться в его пристанище. Приведение собирается вдоволь повеселиться, когда в замок переселяются новые жильцы, но его ждет крупное разочарование – семья Отис не так проста! Что только призрак ни пытается предпринять: оставляет пятна крови по дому, бродит по коридорам, издает страшные звуки по ночам – и всё напрасно! Семью Отис так просто не запугать! Перед вами сатирическое произведение Оскара Уайльда, опубликованное в 1887 году, в классическом переводе Михаила Ликиардопуло, насквозь пронизанное юморов и философией!

Story
Javier Perez is a hustler from a family of hustlers. He learns from an early age how to play the game to his own advantage, how his background—murdered drug dealer dad, single cash-strapped mom, best friend serving time for gang activity—can be a key to doors he didn’t even know existed. This kind of story, molded in the right way, is just what college admissions committees are looking for, and a full academic scholarship to a prestigious university brings Javi one step closer to his dream of becoming a famous writer.

Story
Thelonious 'Monk' Ellison's once-acclaimed writing career has bottomed out: his latest manuscript has been rejected by seventeen publishers. He seethes on the sidelines of the literary establishment as he watches the meteoric success of We's Lives in Da Ghetto, a first novel by a woman who once visited 'some relatives in Harlem for a couple of days'. Meanwhile, Monk struggles with real family tragedies – his aged mother is fast succumbing to Alzheimer's, and he still grapples with the reverberations of his father's suicide seven years before.

Story
Ibid is a parody by American horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft, written in 1927 or 1928, and first published in the January 1938, issue of O-Wash-Ta-Nong. Ibid is a mock biography of the Roman scholar Ibidus (486–587), whose masterpiece was Op. Cit., "wherein all the significant undercurrents of Graeco-Roman thought were crystallized once and for all." The piece traces the skull of Ibidus, once the possession of Charlemagne, William the Conqueror and other notables, to the United States, where it travels via Salem, Massachusetts and Providence, Rhode Island to a prairie dog hole in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Story
Wie werden wir leben, falls die weltweit auf Hochtouren laufende Forschung zur biologischen Verjüngung des Menschen Erfolg hat? SPIEGEL-Bestsellerautor Maxim Leo legt einen raffinierten und hochgradig unterhaltsamen Roman über vier Menschen vor, deren Leben so unmerklich wie unaufhaltsam aus den Fugen gerät. Sie sind Probanden einer medizinischen Studie der Berliner Charité, deren »Nebenwirkungen« ungeahnte Folgen hat: eine biologische Verjüngung um gleich mehrere Jahre. Jakob ist gerade seiner ersten Liebe begegnet und verliert auf einmal jegliche Lust.

Story
Failed Pitbull impersonator Ismael Reyes - you can call him Izzy - might not be the Scarface type, but why should that keep him from trying? Growing up in Miami has shaped him into someone who dreams of being the King of the 305, with the money, power, and respect he assumes comes with it. After finding himself at the mercy of a cease-and-desist letter from Pitbull's legal team and living in his aunt's garage-turned-efficiency, Izzy embarks on an absurd quest to turn himself into a modern-day Tony Montana.
