Nikolaĭ Vasilʹevich Gogolʹ

Hailed universally as Russia's finest comic writer, and by many as its greatest writer of prose, Nikolai creates a unique Ukranian world, from the darkest Gothic to folkloric levity. Here, this extraordinary countryside is revealed in all its variety in his first two collections of short stories. The only translation available of this cycle of stories, this edition captures fully the spirit and vigor of his important early work for the first time.

Village Evenings Near Dikanka ; And, Mirgorod

A definitive translation of the Russian writer's short fiction presents his satirical and fantastic tales of oppressed characters who are set upon by the powers that be, including a a minor official who misplaces his nose, a downtrodden clerk whose life is transformed by a new overcoat, and a madman who believes that a dog holds the key to understanding life. 15,000 first printing.

The Collected Tales

La plupart des récits de Gogol débutent sur un mode réaliste et dérapent dans la folie et le fantastique, bouleversés du dedans par une puissance mystérieuse. Avec Gogol, la littérature russe s'engage sur la voie de la désagrégation de la réalité.
