The last story from the "Mirgorod" cycle, here Gogol presents two landowners
deadlocked in an argument over a Turkish rifle, a brown pig, and a goose
insult. What results is a playful satire and parody of the middle class
Russian society and its war veterans. Quite memorable characters (the two
Ivans), vivid imagery (though at time grotesquely depicted), humorous and
witty dialogues, and an extraordinarily entertaining narrative make this short
story a perfect read and a must for Gogol fans! Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol
(1809-1852) was one of the best known realist writers in Russia. Acknowledged
as one of the forerunners and best practitioners of the short story genre
alongside Pushkin, E. T. A. Hoffmann, and Nathaniel Hawthorne, Gogol’s
boundless ambition and penmanship proved remarkably fertile. His writing was
largely marked by his own troubles in life, the culture and folklore of his
native Ukraine, social issues, and the problematic relationships between
people. Gogol’s most famous works include the novel "Dead Souls", the horror
novella "Viy", as well as the short story collections "Evenings on a Farm Near
Dikanka" and "Mirgorod".
