The Diary of a Madman and Other Stories - Sign... - Nikolai Vasil'evich Gogol
Some call him a Russian Mark Twain. 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. And with his special blend of comedy, social commentary, and fantasy, Nikolai Gogol paved the way for his countrymen Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky.
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.Translated by Priscilla Meyer and Andrew R. In The Carriage, a pompous landowner gets his comeuppance when he attempts to impress a general. McAndrewWith a New Introduction and an Afterword by Priscilla Meyer"
