One of my friends explained the reason jokingly. Says he, 'How can you expect them to give a better reception to this play, since half the audience is made up of those who are 'getting it, ' and the other half those who are 'giving it.' -Mikhail Shchepkin, 1838 The comedy was accepted by many people as a liberal manifesto . a political bombshell flung at society under the guise of a comedy. -Prince Pyotr Vyazemsky, 1836 I decided to gather into one heap everything in Russia that I was aware of at the time, all the injustices committed in those places and on those occasions where justice is especially required of humanity, and, at the same time, to laugh at it all. The effect, as everyone knows, was astonishing. Behind the laughter which had never before spurted from me with such force, the reader can notice sorrow . -Nikolay Gogol, 1847.…

Paperback. Condizione: Fair. 'Rus!

Yet whence this unfathomable, uncanny force that draws me to you?'
