<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A satirical short story by Nikolai Gogol written during his time living in St. Petersburg, Russia. It is divided into three parts and tells the story of a Collegiate Assessor who wakes up without his nose. He later finds out that his nose has developed a life of its own and has even surpassed the Collegiate Assessor in social rank.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>This is the story of a nose. No, really -- it's the story of a nose that leaves the face of an official in St. Petersburg (the Russian St. Petersburg, the one in Florida wasn't even a proper village when Gogol was alive). The nose leaves this man's face and wanders off to have a life of its own.</p><p>It does strange stuff, too, What's to expect?</p><p>Seriously, it's a nose.</p><p>In A History of Russian Literature, the critic D.S. Mirsky writes: "The Nose is a piece of sheer play, almost sheer nonsense. In it more than anywhere else Gogol displays his extraordinary magic power of making great comic art out of nothing."</p><p>Nikolai Gogol. You've got to love him</p>
