Gogol

Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol

The theatrical genius of Nikolay Gogol has gone largely unappreciated by English-speaking audiences because pedantically literal translations have left his plays virtually unperformable. These fresh translations restore the vitality of Gogol's language and humor, finally allowing his dramatic art to speak directly to Western readers, directors, actors, and theater-goers. This volume contains The Government Inspector and Marriage - Gogol's greatest full-length plays, comedic cornerstones of the Russian theatrical repertoire - and a one-act satire, The Gamblers. Also included are writings on theater from Gogol's notebooks and correspondences

Gogol: Nevsky Prospect

*Read for class.

Well, I definitely liked it more this time round, it didn't seem so insufferably boring like when I was in school. 

Although I can't say I enjoyed those pushy, stalker-y, borderline rape-y men... Especially the second one, Pirogov. I was outraged reading those parts, but the novella itself wasn't so bad, plus, it wasn't praising those men, which I appreciated.
