✦ Synopsis

An original selection of short fiction by Nikolai Gogol, "the Russian Dickens," translated by the great Constance Garnett and curated by Natasha Randall, that captures the genius of one of the most daring, inventive writers of the nineteenth century. A wounded solider vanishes into notoriety.
A nose is found in a loaf of bread.
*Places—**like the Nevesky Prospect—*are not what they seem.
Nikolai Gogol was one of the nineteenth century's greatest and most influential Russian writers, a realist whose acerbic observations and taste for the absurd give his writing its strange, comic voice.
In this edition of A Place Bewitched and Other Stories, Natasha Randall presents a new, curated collection of Gogol's short fiction, selected from the work of Constance Garnett, one of Gogol's earliest translators. Randall has lightly revised Garnett's essential translations and frames the collection with a new foreword. Full of the wit of Gogol's work, this edition is the perfect introduction to a great writer and a must for the enthusiast.
