From Kirkus Reviews

Pevear and Volokhonsky continue their remarkable conquest of 19th-century Russian fiction with this lively new translation of 13 of ``the Russian Dickens's'' wildest and finest stories. Excluding only lesser pieces from Gogol's earliest volumes (though one misses the madly romantic novella ``Taras Bulba''), this selection offers richly colloquial versions (which sound like spoken narrative) of such classic ``Ukrainian Tales'' as the imperturbably melodramatic ``The Terrible Vengeance'' and the memorably lurid vampire tale ``Viy,'' and also ``Petersburg Tales'' like the deliriously surrealistic ``The Nose'' and that uniquely dreamlike, and seminal, portrayal of a timid clerk's acquisition and loss of his only meaningful possession: ``The Overcoat.'' Pevear's informative Preface persuasively emphasizes the personal, nonpolitical, and, to some degree, haphazard nature of the distinctive alchemy by which a deeply flawed and troubled soul managed to create some of the most colorful and haunting fiction of his century. -- Copyright ©1998, Kirkus Associates, LP.

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.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Brilliant, Aoû 4 2005
Par John (Charleston, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Collected Tales of Nikolai Gogol (Paperback)
Of all the stories, the one enjoyed most was DIARY OF A MAD MAN. It is an insightful story by Gogol that is full of humor, sadness, tragedy and hope. The literary style is first class and fully exposes the inner turmoil of a man with a conflict in his soul. HOUSE OF THE DEAD, UNION MOUJIK, POOR FOLKS, explore that depth of human suffering that leads to depravity for individuals or groups of people. The other short stories are equally masterpieces that we can read repeatedly without becoming bored.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Hilarious!!!, Janv. 25 2004
Par KC Tang (Hong Kong) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Collected Tales of Nikolai Gogol (Paperback)
Sometimes you just have to ignore what critics say and enjoy the thing itself when you find some truly funny stuff. Who can read Kafka's "Verwandlung" and "Ein Bericht fur eine Akademie" without laughing him/herself to death? The same case with Gogol. Just ignore what critics call symbolism or allegory or whatever and enjoy the tales themselves. Have a good time.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Sheer Genius (and a good translation), Déc 31 2003
Par Ralph-Michael (Seoul, South Korea) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Collected Tales of Nikolai Gogol (Paperback)
This is the kind of writing that makes me questions why movies even exist. The style, the sentences, the humor, the feel is all something unique, unpredictable, and unmistakable. These plots are bizarre, intriguing and it is nearly impossible to guess the endings. All this coming from a translated work is a success for the writer and the translators.

The Overcoat, Diary of a Madman, & the Nose are some examples of Gogol's short story brilliance. These stories are realistic yet surreal, imaginative and impressive. Gogol shows you the roots of what Russian writers continued to excel at later with works like Metamorphosis (Kafka). He calls his stories tales (there are the Ukrainian Tales and the Petersburg Tales), and they most definitely are tales. They are the kind of stories you can tell around the campfire -- they are that unnerving and exhilarating. Yet they are social commentaries as well. These stories work on many levels because they are detailed, feature fantastic characters, and delve into fantasy. All the while you find unexpected twists and occurrences. It's sheer genius.

This book is a fabulous introduction to both Russian literature and the works of this unique genius.
