Книга: Gogol Nikolai «Petersburg Tales»
|
Written in the 1830s and early 1840s, these comic stories tackle life behind the cold and elegant faade of the imperial capital from the viewpoints of various characters, such as a collegiate assessor who one day finds that his nose has detached itself from his face and risen the ranks to become a state councillor ( "The Nose" ), a painter and a lieutenant whose romantic pursuits meet with contrasting degrees of success (" Nevsky Prospect" ), and a lowly civil servant whose existence desperately unravels when he loses his prized new coat (" The Overcoat" ). Also including" Diary of Madman," these Petersburg Tales paint a critical yet hilarious portrait of a city riddled with pomposity and self-importance, masterfully juxtaposing 19th-century realism with madcap surrealism, and combining absurdist farce with biting satire. Издательство: "Alma" (2014)
