Read an excerpt from "The Nose" in THE NOSE AND OTHER STORIES, by Nikolai Gogol and translated by Susanne Fusso. The tales collected in this work are among the greatest achievements of world literature. They showcase Nikolai Gogol’s vivid, haunting imagination: an encounter with evil in a darkened church, a downtrodden clerk who dreams only of a new overcoat, a nose that falls off a face and reappears around town on its own.
