Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol's (1809-1852) immortal comedy Revizor, the brightest example of Russian satire, was written in 1836. Ten years later, the author himself wrote that in it he decided to "collect in one pile all the bad things in Russia, which I then knew, all the injustices that are done in those places and in those cases, where the most required of a man of justice, and for one time to laugh at everything. The nameless district town in which the action unfolds has become a model of the whole of Russia, and on the stage came all types of Russian reality, all the characters of the Russian national spirit, all the mental movements and all the vices inherent in man, seeing himself in others as if in a crooked mirror. The play makes the viewer laugh and feel sad at the same time. This edition is decorated with drawings by Vladimir Amosovich Taburin (1864-1919) and Peter Mikhailovich Boklevsky (1816-1897); the latter portrayed Gogol's characters so expressively that later many actors before going on stage specially made up "under Boklevsky". The book also includes versions of various scenes, the play "Theater Dispersal after the presentation of a new comedy", an article and notes to "The Inspector" Vasily Vasilievich Gippius (1890-1942) and other additional materials.
