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.
