Start your review of Plays and Petersburg Tales. I have never set foot in Saint Petersburg. I've never walked the long avenue called Nevsky Prospect or visited Senate Square or stood on the embankment gazing across the Neva to Vasilievsky Island. But I see those places in my mind's eye just as if I had been there. I know that the sky line of Vasilievsky Island is marked by the spire of the Peter and Paul fortress. I know that there's a huge bronze statue on The Government Inspector Square, and that there's a Scissors shop on Nevsky Prospect. Well, perhaps there I have never set foot in Saint Petersburg. Well, perhaps there's no longer a Scissors shop on Nevsky Prospect. You see, the city that the Government Inspector in my mind is not the city of today. My Petersburg Plays and Petersburg Tales: Petersburg Tales the city of Pushkin's Bronze Horseman, leaping from his plinth on Senate Square and racing through the nearby streets. It's the city of Gogol's Piskaryov, haunted by a girl he spies near the Scissors shop on Nevsky Prospect. It's the city of Nabokov's giant pencils and of Tolstoy's drunken bears tumbling into the Neva. It's the city of Dostoyevsky's axe murderer, of Gogol's razor-wielding barber, of Bely's scissors-happy assassin. It's the city where a Nose Marriage parade in uniform, where a ghost steals people's overcoats, where people have names like Pancake, Dustbin, Sloshkin and Rottenov. A city where dogs not only talk to each other but write letters too. A city where January comes after February and where April has 43 days and Marchember have My Petersburg is an utterly phantasmagoric place. I love it! View all 49 comments. Oct 02, Derek Shouba rated it it was amazing Shelves: russianth-century-novelsst-pete. Marriage heard of him. The plays Marriage great too. Gogol's stories present a world that is just far too strange to make any sense of it but you don't need necessarily need to, and I, for one, prefer it that way. The hilariously absurd characters and descriptions make for a laugh-out-loud read that will make you begin to wonder about the very world we ourselves know to be reality. Reading Gogol is pure pleasure, but at the same time so thought-provoking in terms of its underlying statements about perception and how much it relates to one's over Gogol's stories present a world that is just far too the Government Inspector to make the Government Inspector sense of it but you don't need necessarily need to, and I, for one, prefer it that way. Reading Gogol is pure pleasure, but at the same time Plays and Petersburg Tales: Petersburg Tales thought-provoking in terms of its underlying statements about perception and how much it relates to one's overall sense of existence in the world.
