内容摘要 果戈里的《狂人日记》艺术构思独特,出现在读者面前的是狂人和狗的通讯、几篇日记,形式荒诞。小说主人公是一个微不足道、安分守己的小公务员,受阶级社会重重压迫,处处被人侮辱蹂躏,最后被逼发疯。 作家,戏剧家和讽刺作家尼古拉·果戈尔(Nikolai Gogol)对以小官僚主义和基础腐败为主导的社会的有力描写深刻地影响了后来的俄罗斯文学。该书包括他最受赞赏的短篇小说和他最著名的戏剧。自从首次上演以来,“政府督察”一直备受人们的讥讽和讽刺,讽刺性很高,被纳博科夫(Nabokov)视为每部作品中最伟大的俄罗斯戏剧。同时,这里收集的故事从喜剧到悲剧不等,描述了低级文员,疯子和骗子的孤立生活。 Author, dramatist and satirist, Nikolai Gogol deeply influenced later Russian literature with his powerful depictions of a society dominated by petty bureaucracy and base corruption. This volume includes both his most admired short fiction and his most famous drama. A biting and frequently hilarious political satire, "The Government Inspector" has been popular since its first performance and was regarded by Nabokov as the greatest Russian play every written. The stories gathered here, meanwhile, range from comic to tragic and describe the isolated lives of low-ranking clerks, lunatics and swindlers. They include "Diary of a Madman," an amusing but disturbing exploration of insanity; Nevsky Prospect, a depiction of an artist besotted with a prostitute; and "The Overcoat," a moving consideration of poverty that powerfully influenced Dostoevsky and later Russian literature.
