Nikolai Gogol, Ivan Krylov, Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin, Leo Tolstoy, 2011
This collection presents some of Russia's finest comic writing from before the twentieth century. The titular story, "How the Two Ivans Quarrelled," humorously depicts the fallout from a trivial insult between close friends, showcasing Gogol's unique style where mundane details gain a life of their own. Ivan Krylov's "Panegyric in Memory of My Grandfather" features an innocent narrator praising a landowner whose actions contradict the description. Mikhail Saltykov contributes two tales satirizing civil servants and Russia's autocratic system. The volume concludes with Tolstoy's "Ivan the Fool," an allegorical critique of contemporary Russian society.
