Almost all Gogol critics agree that his characters embody, for the first time in the history of literature, poshlost, an untranslatable Russian word that refers to the stubborn pride that an inferior person feels in their inferiority, a tragicomic characteristic that makes Gogol's antiheroes unique, all of them very famous. Christopher Domínguez Michael. Although almost the entire life of the brilliant author of "Nevsky Prospect" was spent in urban environments-in St. Petersburg, Moscow, and abroad-surrounded by writers, painters, theater people, and cultivated aristocrats, his books are set in rural. The only exception is these three stories, which portray urban life, examples of what farce and tragedy can achieve when framing a portrait of madness. In addition to the aforementioned story, this volume includes "The Overcoat" and "The Portrait."
