Collected here are Gogol's finest tales--stories that combine
the wide-eyed, credulous imagination of the peasant with the
sardonic social criticism of the city dweller--allowing readers to
experience anew the unmistakable genius of a writer who paved the
way for Dostoevsky and Kafka. All of Gogol's most memorable
creations are here: the minor official who misplaces his nose, the
downtrodden clerk whose life is changed by the acquisition of a
splendid new overcoat, the wily madman who becomes convinced that a
dog can tell him everything he needs to know. The wholly unique
blend of the mundane and the supernatural that Gogol crafted
established his reputation as one of the most daring and inventive
writers of his time.
From the acclaimed translators of "War and Peace," "Crime and
Punishment," and "The Brothers Karamazov, "a brilliant translation
of Nikolai Gogol's short fiction.
