Gogol's great Russian classic is the Pickwick Papers of Russian literature. It takes a sharp but humorous look at life in all its strata but especially the devious complexities in Russia, with its landowners and serfs. We are introduced to Chichikov, a businessman who, in order to trick the tax authorities, buys up dead 'souls', or serfs, whose names still appear on the government census. Despite being a dealer in phantom crimes and paper ghosts, he is the most beguiling of Gogol's characters.

The Nose is a short story by Nikolai Gogol and was published in 1836. It tells the story of a man (known as Major Kovalyov) who lost his nose in an extraordinarily strange incident.

He tries to get the nose back on his face in many different ways but the nose refuses to return.  

Centering on the picaresque realism of Nikolai Gogol’s (1809-1852) mid-19th-century visions of the extraordinary in everyday life, this collection mines the ambiance and mind of pre-Revolutionary Russia. These seven stories take us from the Miracle Mile of St. Petersburg’s Nevsky Prospekt, and a summer night in a Ukrainian village, to the fantastical psychological geographies of fathers, sons, and madmen. Augmenting Gogol’s visions are two disturbing tales by the foremost storyteller of Russia’s “Silver Age”.

Este relato forma parte de la colección Novelas de San Petersburgo y data de 1836. Es un buen ejemplo de humor grotesco que consiste en mirar las cosas "desde el otro lado de lo trágico" (el relato comienza con el barbero que encuentra la nariz, no con quien la pierde). Se da una fusión entre lo real (descripción de ambientes, relaciones entre personajes...) y lo fantástico que dota al relato de verosimilitud. El relato que nos ocupa es una muestra de humor absurdo aunque cargado con una fuerte dosis de crítica a una sociedad obsesionada con la apariencia y el ascenso en la escala social.

"Diario de un loco" escrito en 1835 por Nikolái Gógol es uno de los relatos más célebres del ciclo "Relatos de San Petersburgo", un conjunto de historias donde la ciudad aparece como un espacio opresivo, laberíntico y a menudo absurdo. Presentado en forma de diario personal, el texto narra la progresiva degradación mental de Aksenti Ivánovich Poprishchin, un modesto funcionario estatal atrapado en la mediocridad de la vida administrativa y en la rígida jerarquía del sistema.

Christmas Eve is the first story in the second volume of the collection Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka by Nikolai Gogol.

Since it is the night before Christmas, the devil is free to roam around and torment people as he pleases, so he decides to find a way to get back at the village blacksmith, Vakula, because he paints religious art in the church.
