The text in Russian. N.V. Gogol' "Nos" -- Annotations to the Russian text -- How "The Nose" is made: language game as the engine of the plot -- Interpretations. Joke, jest, farce, anecdote ; Social satire ; Mockery of the demonic and of the sacred ; Chronicle of folk superstitions ; A case of castration anxiety ; An echo of German romanticism ; Perfect nonsense ; Shostakovich's opera The Nose ; A play with reality: "The Nose," Kafka, and Dali.
"The Guide focuses on Gogol's language in "The Nose" and his playful twisting of the many Russian idioms that are usually lost in English translations of the story. It traces Gogol's descriptions of St. Petersburg everyday life, familiar to the writer's contemporaries but hidden from the modern Western reader. It also presents major critical interpretations of the story and its connections to the works of Shostakovich, Kafka, Dalí and Kharms"-- Provided by publisher.
