  • Product Description

    This collection contains Gogol's three completed plays



    The Government Inspector, which satirises a corrupt society was regarded by Nabokov as the greatest play in the Russian language and is still widely studied in schools and universities: "I resolved to gather into one heap everything that was bad in Russia which I was aware of at that time, all the injustices being perpetrated in those places, and in those circumstances that especially cried out for justice, and tried to hold them all up to ridicule, at one fell swoop." (Nikolai Gogol)

    Marriage is a comedy about the business of matchmaking and matrimony; The Gamblers is an exoriating piece about the excesses of the Moscow aristocracy.

    "Two and two make five, if not the square root of five, and it all happens quite naturally in Gogol's world… Gogol was a strange creature, but then genius is always strange" (Vladimir Nabokov)
