lynecia's review against another edition
3.0
Well, this was very absurd. And that was precisely Gogol's intention. "The Nose" is a satirical novella about a Russian (quite arrogant!) bureaucrat who wakes up one day, with his nose missing. Only to find, it was off living its own life, as a Civil Councillor no doubt. I'll admit I don't have enough knowledge of Russian society and politics to fully comprehend the social order Gogol was skewering. However, it was 50 page read; a breeze to read and funny at that.

It was short but still boring af. Miles better than the overcoat tho.
Bro had a good idea and made the worst possible choices. The NOSE, the paint of the whole book has two scenes and only speaks in one of them.

Primeiríssimo contato com literatura russa e eu adorei!
Um livro fantasioso e realista ao mesmo tempo. Com críticas sociais pertinentes e aquela pitada indispensável de sarcasmo.
É bem curtinho, super fluído. Bem diferente do que estou acostumada a ler.
Vale ressaltar que as videoaulas disponibilizadas nessa versão da Antofágica também são bastante interessantes.

When I started it I was pretty sure I'm gonna love it since I seem to have a soft spot for Russian literature. Unsurprisingly I did.
It's hilarious. I mean what else to expect when it's a story about a men on a quest. A man trying to find his nose after loosing it.
