Title: The Inspector-General
Subtitle: A Comedy in Five Acts
First published: May 22, 2006
Description: The Inspector-General is a national institution. To place a purely literary valuation upon it and call it the greatest of Russian comedies would not convey the significance of its position either in Russian literature or in Russian life itself. There is no other single work in the modern literature of any language that carries with it the wealth of associations which the Inspector-General does to the educated Russian.
Subjects: Classic Literature, Fiction
