Fiction

"The Nose" by Nikolai Gogol is a satirical short story that follows Collegiate Assessor Kovalyov, who wakes up one day to discover that his nose has inexplicably vanished. Even more bizarrely, he encounters his nose in the form of a higher-ranking official around town. The story explores themes of identity, societal absurdity, and the disconnection between one's self-image and how others perceive them. Gogol's tale is a humorous and surreal commentary on the rigidity and absurdities of social hierarchies.
