No more spoilers. You have to read it for yourself, because it really is very funny, even in translation. By the way, director Sergei Gazarov made a great movie version of the comedy with Yevgeny Mironov in the role of Khlestakov and Nikita Mikhalkov in the role of the mayor. The Government Inspector is a regular at just about every theater in Russia. Two of his collections of short stories — Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka and Mirgorod — are dedicated to his native land.

Contemporaries highly praised the collection as a breath of fresh air in Russian literature. The writer was buried at Danilov Monastery, but when his remains were exhumed in Soviet times and transferred to Novodevichy Cemetery, it was rumored that the skull was missing.

According to other hearsay, the body was found in an unnatural position, suggesting that the writer had been buried alive during a lethargic stupor — allegedly his very worst fear.

This collection is considered a continuation of Evenings , but far more profound and serious. All four stories are standalone works, and not all readers are aware that they were originally part of one collection. A Walter Scott-type tale of love, betrayal, and filicide. This collection is also unique. After the Ukrainian folklore of Evenings and Mirgorod , and the provincial escapades of Chichikov and Khlestakov, we plunge into the capital of the Russian Empire. A young artist buys a cursed portrait of an unknown moneylender and goes crazy.

His coat needs repairing, so he takes it to a tailor who declares it to be beyond salvation. A new one must be purchased, with terrible consequences!
