This is Gogols humour at its best, where the most irrelevant-seeming details and turns of phrase suddenly take on a bizarre life of their own. The second story, Ivan Krylovs Panegyric in Memory of My Grandfather, has an ingenuous narrator praise the nobility and modesty of a landowner whose actions prove him to be otherwise. The final two stories, by the Russian satirist Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin, are satirical attacks on the inability of civil servants to cope with real life, and on Russias autocracy. Together, they represent some of Russias finest comic writing before the twentieth century.</p>...4501484How the Two Ivans Quarelled and Other Russian Comic Stories168193https://www.gandhi.com.mx/how-the-two-ivans-quarelled-and-other-russian-comic-stories-9780714548371/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4135626/image.jpg?v=638443306687930000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20099780714548371_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_<p>The first story in this volume, How the Two Ivans Quarrelled, is an amusing portrayal of two exceptionally close friends, the mortal insult that drives them apart, and the ensuing chaos that occurs.
