i’d like to tell you about a book by a russian novelist, nikolai gogol. it’s called “the government inspector”. it’s a satirical play. i’ve recently read this book in my literature lessons.
let me tell you a bit about this book. the action takes place in a small provincial town. the main character is khlestakov. he’s a young man who is silly and broke. but he’s a very self-loving man. he tells lies with pleasure. khlestakov has careless a fantasy. he arrives in the town and is mistaken for the government inspector.
as you can imagine, the plot is very interesting and funny. the comedy shows human stupidity and greed. also the problems of society are shown there.
