Nikolai Gogol: censor
*The Inspector General*, a carefully selected anthology of representative plays by Gogol—considered one of the most important masters in Russian literary history and a pioneer of realist literature—has been published as the 115th volume of the Eul-yu World Literature Collection. This book includes *The Inspector General*, the most famous and artistically outstanding of Gogol's plays, as well as *The Marriage* and *The Gambler*. All three works are masterpieces that clearly demonstrate the cheerful yet grotesque characteristics of Gogol's plays, and they are impeccable exemplary models representing an era of Russian literature.
