The Government Inspector

Více o knize

Set in a small Russian town, corrupt officials are thrown into chaos upon hearing of an incognito inspector's imminent arrival. In a twist of fate, they mistake Khlestakov, a fanciful civil servant, for the inspector. Unaware of the mix-up, Khlestakov revels in the officials' fear, enjoying their hospitality and demanding money while engaging in flirtations with the Mayor's family. This satirical play by Nikolai Gogol explores themes of deception, social status, and the absurdity of authority.
