Diary of a Madman, The Government Inspector, & Selected Stories by Nikolay Gogol Pdf

Author, dramatist and satirist, Nikolay Gogol (1809-1852) deeply influenced later Russian literature with his powerful depictions of a society dominated by petty beaurocracy and base corruption. This volume includes both his most admired short fiction and his most famous drama. A biting and frequently hilarious political satire, The Government Inspector has been popular since its first performance and was regarded by Nabokov as the greatest Russian play every written. The stories gathered here, meanwhile, range from comic to tragic and describe the isolated lives of low-ranking clerks, lunatics and swindlers. They include Diary of a Madman, an amusing but disturbing exploration of insanity; Nevsky Prospect, a depiction of an artist besotted with a prostitute; and The Overcoat, a moving consideration of poverty that powerfully influenced Dostoevsky and later Russian literature.

The Diary of a Madman and Other Stories by Nikolaĭ Vasilʹevich Gogolʹ Pdf

Gogol's biting satirical comedy, first published in 1835, is an outrageous rant against the civil service and the class system of 19th century Russia. It combines realism with the fantastic and the absurd as one man struggles to be noticed by the woman he adores. Gogol's stories are rooted in commonplace events and his characters are common people but Gogol combined that in a weird world of fantasy, broad comedy and lunacy. Copyright © Libri GmbH.

The Diary of a Madman and Other Stories by Nikolai Gogol Pdf

Some call him a Russian Mark Twain. And with his special blend of comedy, social commentary, and fantasy, Nikolai Gogol paved the way for his countrymen Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky. This sampling of Gogol’s works includes the increasingly fantastic entries of “The Diary of a Madman,” followed by the wonderfully surrealistic “The Nose,” in which the title character embarks on some unlikely activities when separated from its owner’s face. In “The Carriage,” a pompous landowner gets his comeuppance when he attempts to impress a general. Rounding out the collection are the woefully comic tale of a clerk’s acquisition of “The Overcoat” and the celebrated novella “Taras Bulba” about the Ukrainian mythic hero said to have led a bloody Cossack revolt against the Poles.
