Delightful

By Bryan Byrd on January 31, 2015

Format: Paperback

This Anchor books (A 120) edition with the Edward Gorey cover illustration, copyrighted 1957 with a Library of Congress catalog number of 57-11419 contains six stories, all translated by David Magarshack:

THE TERRIBLE VENGEANCE
IVAN FYDOROVICH SHPONKA AND HIS AUNT
THE PORTRAIT
NEVSKY AVENUE
THE NOSE
THE OVERCOAT

Using the look inside feature here on Amazon, I can see this is the exact list of stories for the in-print edition of The Overcoat and Other Tales of Good and Evil, with the same translator and the same introduction. Those readers who may also be considering the Penguin edition of The Diary of a Madman, The Government Inspector, and Selected Stories will find an overlap of four stories and four that are different. Kindle readers might be interested in Delphi Complete Works of Nikolai Gogol whereas book readers might prefer either The Collected Tales of Nikolai Gogol or even The Complete Tales of Nikolai Gogol (Volume 1) and Vol. 2.Read more ›

Great Collection of Gogol's Stories!

By Daniel Cobert on September 27, 2014

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase

This book includes "The Overcoat" and "Taras Bulba" and "The Terrible Vengance" and "The Portrait" and "Nevsky Avenue." It has also been published as "The Overcoat and other stories of good and evil." David Magarshack is an excellent translator. "Taras Bulba" has been published as a novel by itself and is worth the price of this book alone. It is a short novel of a violent but honorable family of Cossacks in the fifteenth century when the cossacks were fighting a two-front but sporadic war against the Turks to the south and the Poles and Swedes to the north. This is especially interesting today because these are Russians defending the Ukraine about 600 years ago! This story is not for children. "The Terrible Vengence" is even more violent. This one is "R" rated. Gogol is a great writer. His stories don't drag but they sometimes can shock the reader. I enjoyed every story except "The Portrait" which started off great and became very disappointing as it progressed. I was really upset over the degeneration of that story because the beginning was so good. "The Overcoat" is Gogol's best story. So I won't say anything else about "The Overcoat" other than READ IT! I think it is one of the best stories I have ever read. This is not a great book for happy endings, or even for happy stories. But it is engrossing, absorbing, extremely well written and well translated. It is fitting that the book ends with "The Overcoat" because that is the story with the most satisfying conclusion.
