Synopsis
Here is a stunning new translation of the exuberant tales that established Nikolai Gogol as the father of Russian modernism. The minor official who misplaces his nose; a downtrodden clerk whose life is changed by a new overcoat; the wily madman who gleans information from a dog--these comic, utterly Russian characters have dazzled generations of readers. Now they are brilliantly rendered in the first new translation in 25 years.

About the Author
Nikolai Gogol (1809-1852) was one of the great masters of Russian literature, and was the author of numerous stories and a novel, Dead Souls. Together, Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky have translated Dostoevsky's Dead Souls, Crime and Punishment, Notes from Underground, Demons and The Brothers Karamazov, for which they were awarded the PEN Book-of-the-Month Club Translation Prize. They then translated several works by Bulgakov for Penguin Classics. Latterly, their new versions of Tolstoy's War and Peace and Anna Karenina attracted global acclaim. Their translation of Dostoevsky's The Idiot is also published by Granta Books.
