Невский проспект

The stories paint a lively yet unsettling picture of city life. Did anyone else feel the contrast between the glamour and the decay?

His wit is sharp, but some scenes felt almost cruel. How do readers interpret his tone—playful critique or deeper cynicism?

The vivid descriptions make Nevsky Prospect feel alive. I wonder if Gogol’s own experiences in St. Petersburg shaped these stories or if they’re more universal.
