«Racconti di Pietroburgo» is Nikolai Gogol's collection of short stories, published by Mondadori in paperback (224 pages, in Italian).
The Petersburg cycle shows St. Petersburg as a non-Russian city in Gogol's eyes: the facade of a building in ruins where an empty, alienated existence is lived. The capital is a sinister puppeteer of unforgettable characters, portrayed with detail, irony, and a satire that caricatures 19th-century Russia and the author.
Volume 89 of the Oscar Classici collection. Includes an essay by Vladimir Nabokov. The Petersburg cycle was originally published in 1842.
For readers of classic fiction and short stories, interested in 19th-century Russian literature and Gogol's satire.
