«Contes de Peterburg» is the short story collection by Nikolai Vassilievitx Gogol, published by Destino in paperback (240 pages, in Catalan).
The stories in this volume are set in St Petersburg and show life behind the elegant facades of the capital with a mix of realism and absurdity. Gogol portrays the bureaucracy and obsessions of his characters with humour and melancholy: a nose that becomes independent of its owner, a clerk ruined by the loss of his overcoat.
First edition (June 2001) in the Trident collection from Destino, translated by Victòria Izquierdo and Àngels Margarit.
For readers interested in nineteenth-century Russian narrative and the short story with absurd humour and social criticism.
