La Nariz y Otros Cuentos (The Nose and Other Stories) (Abridged) Audiobook

" Wonderfully ridiculous. A very good read, makes very little sense (a nose is running around museums??) but forget that. It is just fantastic, in every sense "

" Ummm. Yeah. So, I think this must be some kind of allegory that you'd have to know a bit about Russian history to appreciate. It's a tiny little book, but I think I'd need a much bigger brain to appreciate it fully.The pictures were neat, though. "

" Very fine and Elegant short story. "

" Strange and funny. A short story. "

" One of my favorite authors, and his best story, in my opinion. Great fun to read. "

" An amusing if somewhat bizarre short story about a Major in Russia who wakes up to discover his nose is missing and sets out to track it down. Wittily written and my first experience of the writings of Gogol. "

" If you don't believe a nose can become a State Counsellor, travel around a city in a carriage and accept bows - turn on your TV and surf through news channels. "

" When a social-climbing, minor functionary from the provinces wakes up one morning without his nose, his indignation knows no bounds. Unlike Kafka's Gregor, the Major's angst isn't directed inward. "

" fantastic, hilarious, one of the best short stories i have read. "

" I am a big fan of Kafka so I enjoyed reading this book. I saw a lot of similarities between Gogol and Kafka's writing styles. I recommend it to all Kafka fans as well as those who have never read anything of both these authors. "

" It's just do strange - it was impossible for me not to love it immediately! "

" Gogol was actually one of the first classic Russian authors I read. I found his absurd writings so funny that I was originally convinced I just didn't understand what was going on. What a treat to rediscover him! "
