Nikolai Gogol was talented enough to catch the notice of not just his contemporaries but his government. Considered one of Russia’s greatest writers during his day, Gogol’s The Nose is considered one of Gogol’s most famous works, a bizarre short story about seemingly nothing that nevertheless embodies the wizardry of his work. Despite the fact that some critics have noted that the story itself is nonsensical, it’s still universally hailed as one of Gogol’s classics.

This edition of The Nose includes a table of contents and is illustrated.
