Overview
“PROVINCIAL RUSSIA, 1836, THANK GOODNESS WE DON'T FACE THESE SAME KIND OF PROBLEMS TODAY!”
Nikolai Gogol’s The Inspector General is a hilarious indictment of political corruption in 1836 provincial Russia. When a penniless drifter is mistaken for an Inspector General, the townspeople, innocent as a pack of wolves, inveigle him into a conspiracy of lies that in turn reveals a profound truth. Gogol’s classic is especially apt in these times of financial and moral dislocation
