Il diario di un pazzo. Il naso

André Markowicz

Voici une nouvelle traduction du plus célèbre livre de Gogol dans une version inédite en France : au lieu d'utiliser un texte mutilé par la censure du XIXe siècle, dont sont partis tous les précédents traducteurs, André Markowicz est revenu à la version proposée par l'édition académique de l'URSS, le plus complet et le plus fiable. Ce volume reprend scrupuleusement l'ordre de présentation des récits tel qu'établi par Gogol lui-même dans l'édition de ses œuvres en 1842, et, aux nouvelles strictement dites "de Pétersbourg", a été ajoutée leur étonnante conclusion, "Rome", fragment de roman qui en renverse la perspective.

The Ultimate Book Club: 180 Books You Should Read (Vol.1)

Eric Bentley brings to the attention of Gogol's still growing American public not only a new version of Inspector, but three other dramatic works: The Marriage, Gamblers and A Madman's Diary, the last-named being Bentley's dramatization of a famous Gogol story. In a critical preface, Bentley finds all four works to be a Gogolian treatment of love - or the lack of love - and by the same token, thoroughly original works of dramatic art. Also includes a piece on Gamblers by the eminent Polish critic Jan Kott.

Dode zielen

'Dode zielen' is het groteske relaas over de zelfingenomen klaploper Tsjitsjikov, die in een caleidoscopische zwerftocht over het Russische platteland zoveel mogelijk ‘dode zielen’ (overleden lijfeigenen) probeert op te kopen, om als onderpand te dienen voor de luxe levensstijl waarvan hij droomt. Gogol schildert met ironie en bizarre details een onvergetelijke portrettengalerij van het bonte allegaartje Russische landeigenaren die onze ‘held’ op zijn weg vindt. Een van de indrukwekkendste werken uit de wereldliteratuur is daarmee ook een van de vermakelijkste.

In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work.

The Inspector-General

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Three Great Russian Plays

The Government Inspector, also known as The Inspector General, is a satirical play by the Russian and Ukrainian dramatist and novelist Nikolai Gogol. Originally published in 1836, the play was revised for an 1842 edition. Based upon an anecdote allegedly recounted to Gogol by Pushkin, the play is a comedy of errors, satirizing human greed, stupidity, and the extensive political corruption of Imperial Russia. According to D. S. Mirsky, the play "is not only supreme in character and dialogue - it is one of the few Russian plays constructed with unerring art from beginning to end. The great originality of its plan consisted in the absence of all love interest and of sympathetic characters. The latter feature was deeply resented by Gogol's enemies, and as a satire the play gained immensely from it. There is not a wrong word or intonation from beginning to end, and the comic tension is of a quality that even Gogol did not always have at his beck and call." The dream-like scenes of the play, often mirroring each other, whirl in the endless vertigo of self-deception around the main character, Khlestakov, who personifies irresponsibility, light-mindedness, absence of measure. "He is full of meaningless movement and meaningless fermentation incarnate, on a foundation of placidly ambitious inferiority" (D. S. Mirsky). The publication of the play led to a great outcry in the reactionary press. It took the personal intervention of Tsar Nicholas I to have the play staged, with Mikhail Shchepkin taking the role of the Mayor.
