All of Gogol's most memorable creations are here: the minor official who misplaces his nose, the downtrodden clerk whose life is changed by the acquisition of a splendid new overcoat, the wily madman who becomes convinced that a dog can tell him everything he needs to know. The wholly unique blend of the mundane and the supernatural that Gogol crafted established his reputation as one of the most daring and inventive writers of his time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the acclaimed translators of \u003ci\u003eWar and Peace\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCrime and Punishment\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Brothers Karamazov, \u003c\/i\u003ea brilliant translation of Nikolai Gogol's short fiction.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNikolai Gogol \u003c\/b\u003ewas born in 1809.
