Book Description
Excerpt from The Mantle and Other Stories As a novel-writer and a dramatist, Gogol appears to me to deserve a minute study, and if the knowledge of Russian were more widely Spread, he could not fail to obtain in Europe a reputation equal to that of the best English humorists. A delicate and close observer, quick to detect the absurd, bold in exposing, but inclined to push his fun too far, Gogol is in the first place a very lively satirist. He is merciless towards fools and rascals, but he has only one weapon at his disposal - irony. This is a weapon which is too severe to use against the merely absurd, and on the other hand it is not sharp enough for the punishment of crime; and it is against crime that Gogol too often uses it. His comic vein is always too near the farcical, and his mirth is hardly contagious. If sometimes he makes his reader laugh, he still leaves in his mind a feeling of bitterness and indignation; his satires do not avenge society, they only make it angry.

Book Description
Excerpt from With a Silken Thread and Other Stories, Vol. 2 of 3 When he said this, squaring his shoulders and thrusting out his chest, while using that tone of affected humility which is used by some prosperous men boasting of their prosperity under the guise of bewailing their lower condition, Charley wondered - as indeed he had often wondered in these later years how he ever came to love Alick Farmer, false, boastful, cruel, as he had always been from boyhood upward. What had been the spell upon him - why had he not been always able to read him as he read him now, and in that reading to despise and shun him? You are talking nonsense, Alick, he said quite quietly; and you know it. Yet, for all you are so much above me, I do not want your help.
