The InspectorGeneral Nikolai Gogol 9781461036067 Books
The play describes the fawning reaction of corrupt town officials to the news that a government inspector is coming to pay a visit.Two of the characters, Bobchinsky and Dobchinsky, are reminiscent of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern in comic confusion. The governor's wife and daughter reminded me of Mrs. Bennett in Pride and Prejudice, trying to get her daughter married (while flirting herself!) It was a little difficult to keep track of some of the characters, but it didn't matter.
The play is entertaining and amusing--something rarely said of classical Russian literature. The final joke is predictable (possibly because we have had over 150 years of literary and theatrical comedy building on similar comic ideas.) Still an enjoyable read.

The InspectorGeneral Nikolai Gogol 9781461036067 Books Reviews
Believe it or not, those ponderous old Russian authors do have a sense of humor. Read this and find out.
I don't ordinarily enjoy reading plays, and I suppose this isn't much of an exception as I'd much rather see it on stage, but for zero dollars it's a great addition to my .
I don't recall where I came by this title but to me, it truly is a delightful story that had me smiling the entire time I was reading it.
Wonderful story of the stupidity of the bureaucracy in Russia in mid 19th century. A lot of similarity to today.
Love Gogol. Who wouldn't? Excellent book, as all of his are. Love the Russian writers.
Well done. Gogol can come up with some pretty bizarre ideas but this one isn't so oddball. It's just an entertaining story that only verges on the precipice of incredulity.
Gogol's Inspector General is a fantastic play. I teach this text in my Russian Literature class, and students respond well, find it both funny and tragic, and it is typically one of the most popular things we read in the course. I don't need to sell Gogol; Gogol sells himself and deserves to sit alongside the greats of any literary pantheon.
The issue is that this edition, as well as The Echo Library edition (which uses the same translation) is awful. The typeface and all that is fine, particularly in the Forgotten Books version, but it's full of typos and jacked up textual errors. For example, every time the Doctor's name is printed, it reads, "Hübner" This is pretty terrible, and as I said, it's the same in this edition and the Echo Library. You know, it's kind of like there's one pdf document with this translation, floating in space, and they just keep hitting print whenever a new order comes in, and so the typos and problems keep getting repeated.
Of course, there are no other recent editions of the play that are available at a reasonable price, and those that are available are typically in an out of print edition. So, if you want to read this great play, you're sort of stuck with this miserable translation and edition, but at least if you know going into your purchase that it needs to be proofread, maybe it won't make you as mad as it makes me.
