内容简介

代表作《钦差大臣》叙述了以俄国某市市长为首的一群官吏听到钦差大臣前来视察的消息，惊慌失措，竟将一个过路的彼得堡小官员赫列斯塔科夫当作钦差大臣，对他殷勤款待，阿谀、行贿。正当市长将自己的女儿许配给这位“钦差大臣”，做着升官发财的美梦之时，传来了真正的钦差大臣到达的消息，喜剧以哑场告终。该剧是整个俄国官僚界的缩影，堪称俄国戏剧史上的里程碑，对俄国和世界戏剧的发展产生了重要的影响。

The mayor and local officials of a small provincial town in Russia have got it made: corruption is rife and they have all the power. Yet, when they learn that an undercover government inspector is about to make a visit, they face a mad dash to cover their tracks. Soon, the news that a suspicious person has recently arrived from St Petersburg and is staying in a local inn produces a series of events and misunderstandings that lead to a hilarious denouement. Often quoted as Russian literature's greatest comedy, The Government Inspector is a trenchant satire of the corruption, greed and stupidity of petty officialdom, and the crowning achievement of Gogol's skills as a playwright.
