Description
Why do people go mad? And where is the line between normality and madness?
If a poor clerk sharpens his quills from morning till night and shifts senseless papers from one place to another, then he’s normal; but if, exhausted by hopeless love, he declares himself the heir to the Spanish throne—does that make him insane?
Gogol’s brilliant talent reveals with unusual authenticity the world in which reality and a fantasy nightmare are simultaneously real—down to the smallest details of everyday life.
