The Squabble Book by Nikolai Vasil’evich Gogol (Farsi)

Açıklama

The Squabble by Nikolai Vasilevich Gogol is a sharp and humorous portrayal of human pettiness and social absurdity. The story centers on two Russian landowners, both named Ivan, whose friendship is widely admired and has endured for years. Yet a trivial dispute over a hunting rifle suddenly shatters their bond, giving rise to a long, unresolved feud. Told by an omniscient narrator who initially adopts a flattering tone, the narrative gradually reveals Gogol’s biting irony. Beneath the surface praise, the author exposes the characters’ greed, miserliness, and emotional emptiness. Through satire and meticulous observation, Gogol transforms an ordinary quarrel into a timeless critique of small-mindedness and provincial life.
