Petersburg novels. Gogol N.V.

A cycle of four works, known as “Petersburg Tales”, is a kaleidoscope of life in the capital of the Russian Empire in the 1830-1840s. However, this is Petersburg special, Gogol, - fantastic, grotesque and at the same time quite real. Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol subtly prescribes Nevsky Prospekt and wretched outskirts, important dignitaries and “small” people. Only here the most amazing and most ordinary thing is possible: the disappearance of the nose, the deceptive beauty, the damned portrait, insanity and living dead.
