Fiction

"Diary of a Madman and Other Tales" by Nikolai Gogol is a collection of short stories showcasing the author's satirical wit and exploration of the absurd. The titular story follows the descent into madness of a low-ranking civil servant, providing a biting commentary on societal norms. "The Nose" humorously revolves around a man's lost nose leading a life of its own. Gogol's tales, filled with irony and social critique, delve into the human psyche and expose the eccentricities of Russian society, blending humor with a touch of the macabre.
