本书收录了俄国作家科尔扎诺夫斯基写于1920年至1940年间的18篇哲学和幻想故事，他以极其讽刺的目光审视了历史、上帝、哲学、苏联的体制以及作家的命运，与他的《未来的回忆》(Memories of the Future)和《尸体的自传》(Autobiography of a Corpse)中的硬密黑暗的故事相比，《不知情的大街》无疑轻松了许多：一条主人已死的裤子飞奔去工作，很快就有了自己的办公室和秘书；一只装满自动补充葡萄酒的古老高脚杯驱动着它的主人进入酒杯；一位催眠师试图把一只苍蝇变成一头大象，结果适得其反；一位哲学家自由漂浮的思想与被印在书上和被埋在书里进行斗争；一个政治家变成了象棋大师，他的灵魂最终被囚禁在棋子里；一只鹦鹉从一战前的奥地利旅行到了苏联，冷眼旁观世间冷暖……
