Author | Nikolai Gogol |
ISBN | 0688104649 |
Gogol’s “The Nose” (1835), is an early triumph of surrealism, daring and delightful in the way it jars and disjoins one realitiy from another, but it is also a vivid realistic depiction of the sights and sounds of early 19th century St. Petersburg (including the essential bridges, buildings...

A masterpiece of black comedy by the author of The Master and Margarita.
When Maxudov's novel fails, he attempts suicide. When that fails, he dramatizes his novel. To Maxudov's surprise - and the resentment of literary Moscow - the play is accepted by the legendary Independent Theater, and Maxudov...

A masterful novelist in both his native Russian and in English, Nabokov shocked a generation when Putnam, now a part of the Penguin group, published Lolita, the account of one man's longing for a very young girl in 1955.

Author | Albert Camus |
ISBN | 0141022140 |
I’ve been meaning to read Albert Camus for years! You know how it is. There’s an author you know you should read but just never get around to it. I think I looked at The Outsider a few years ago and decided it was a bit impenetrable. I also have trouble understanding the nuances of existentialism (although...
Author | Nick Hornby |
ISBN | 0141022515 |
A short, light read by way of a change; and I haven’t read Nick Hornby for a while.
The first story concerns a boy’s “first time” and his life as a frustrated/frustrating 15 year old. He makes an unexpected discovery which involves his newly acquired video recorder which will eventually...
This early comic tale of Gogol’s is certainly effective, and almost as memorable as the Petersburg Tales (“The Overcoat,” “The Nose,” “The Diary of a Madman”), with which it is usually classed. It is simpler, though, less cosmic in its ironies, and takes place far from the capital...
