from the perspective of various characters. For example there's the collegiate assessor whose
nose one day detaches itself from his face and goes on to become a state councillor ('The
Nose') the painter and lieutenant whose romantic pursuits have very different degrees of
success ('Nevsky Prospect') and the lowly civil servant whose life falls apart when he loses
his prized new coat ('The Overcoat').In addition to 'The Diary of a Madman' these Petersburg
Tales paint a critical yet hilarious portrait of a city rife with pomposity and
self-importance. They skillfully juxtapose nineteenth-century realism with madcap surrealism
and combine absurdist farce with biting satire.Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol was a Russian novelist
short story writer and playwright of Ukrainian origin.
