A mystery comedy in Stavroupolis! After "A Journey to Brazil" we continued our wanderings through the wonderful literary world of Daniil Kharms to discover "Who is Professor Troubotskin?" By using the children's magazine "Tzizz", Kharm's spiritual shelter, the writer unfolds a series of incredible stories full of overthrows and surprises.

The text gives this great writer the opportunity to add a touch of acidity to a child’s judgment and realization before a world of untruths built by adults for their own ends. In this way Kharms strongly reinforces the code of entertainment as an "education of the soul", all the while with humor, imagination and the ability to see the world upside-down, which are the prime elements in a child’s way of thinking.

With his caustic quill Kharms in addition shows incredible foresight, given his era, namely predicting the current use of children in today’s consumer society.
