Невский проспект
"Невский проспект - это выставка людей", как утверждает Николай Васильевич Гоголь.
Это еще и выставка судеб. Глубоко символична, например, описанная Гоголем в этой повести история художника Пискарева, главным содержанием жизни для которого стали его сновидения, где он был счастлив и любим, а не серая однообразная повседневность.
Эта книга - истинная классика отечественной литературы.

Αυτό το διήγημα μου θύμισε αυτό που είχε πει ο Poe: ''Is all that we see or seem, but a dream within a dream?''
Στην συγκεκριμένη ιστορία ακολουθούμε τον ρομαντικό, ονειρικό και αγνό έρωτα του ζωγράφου Πισκαριόφ και τον σαρκικό έρωτα με τις λάγνες επιθυμίες του υπολοχαγού Πιρογκόφ.
Ο ρομαντικός Πισκαριόφ εύχεται το όνειρό του να ήταν πραγματικότητα.
''Τι άβυσσος αιώνια που χωρίζει το όνειρο απ' την πραγματικότητα'', λέει ο Πισκαριόφ που προσπαθεί με νύχια και με δόντια να ξαναονειρευτεί το πρόσωπο της αγαπημένης του, που μόνο στο όνειρο μπορεί να την έχεις όπως την θέλει.
''Το όπιο φλόγιζε το νου του, κι αν υπήρξε ποτέ άνθρωπος που ερωτεύτηκε ως την έσχατη παραφροσύνη, που αγάπησε μανιασμένα και σπαραχτικά, ήταν αυτός ο δυστυχισμένος.''
Τη στιγμή που ο φιλήδονος Πιρογκόφ εύχεται η πραγματικότητά του να ήταν ένα όνειρο.
Και διερωτάται ο Γκόγκολ πολύ εύστοχα: ''Με τι παράξενο, με τι ασύλληπτο τρόπο παίζει μαζί μας η μοίρα! Άραγε αποκτούμε ποτέ αυτό που επιθυμούμε; Πετυχαίνουμε ποτέ αυτό για το οποίο μοιάζει, κατά κάποιον τρόπο σκόπιμα, να είναι προορισμένες οι δυνάμεις μας;''
Από την επιλογή και μόνο των επαγγελμάτων των δύο πρωταγωνιστών γίνεται φανερή για άλλη μια φορά η αντιπάθεια του Γκόγκολ για τις δημόσιες υπηρεσίες, τους υπαλληλίσκους και τους αξιωματικούς οι οποίοι είναι έρμαια της επαγγελματικής τους καταξίωσης και της εξασφαλισμένης κοινωνικής τους θέσης, αντιπαραβάλλοντάς τους με την ευγενική και ευαίσθητη φύση του καλλιτέχνη και κατά συνέπεια ελεύθερου ανθρώπου.
Και το αγαπήμενο μου απόσπασμα: ''Τίποτα δεν προκαλεί μεγαλύτερο οίκτο απ' το θέαμα του κάλλους που καταστρέφεται απ' το άγγιγμα της αμαρτωλής ηδονής. Όταν η ασχήμια συνταιριάζει με την αμαρτία, δε μας ενοχλεί τόσο, αλλά η ομορφιά, η ομορφιά... μένει πάντα στην σκέψη μας άσπιλη και ανέγγιχτη.''

The short story Nevsky Prospekt by one of my favourite dudes Nikolai Gogol follows the usual theme of - a normal world disrupted by farce.
Nevsky Prospekt is the main street in St Petersburg, a busy thoroughfare with shops, cafes, bakeries, businesses, and Government buildings with a continuous gaggle of considerable traffic – both pedestrian and vehicular. Back in Gogol’s day it would have been horse-drawn carriage, women in their finery and men in tails and hats – nowadays it’s a sprawling, glittering modern street – no doubt (not so sure what it’s like today though) full of tourists and locals alike.
The narrator commences with a detailed description of the type of people who traverse this public space. He breaks the day into discrete periods of time, as the type of personage using the street varies, depending on the time of day. You know, kids in the morning, hookers at night type of thing. The detail the narrator provides is meticulous in its detail albeit a bit rambling, the narrator describes the types of clothing worn, mannerisms of the various people, their jobs, their facial hair, scents, noises – the lot!! In some ways, I found the descriptions over the top and even sycophantic. It was like an over-zealous travel brochure.
Anyway – now we see the classic “Gogol manoeuvre”. Two gentleman one a painter (Piskaryov), the other an army lieutenant (Pirogov), spot a blonde and a brunette woman swishing through the human tide of sweat, smell and racket. Both young ladies are stunning, they appear to be delightfully flitting on their way to wherever they’re going. Now each of these gentlemen feels compelled to follow (stalk?) these beauties and follow them they do. All I will say is – the results are surprising, shocking, mysterious, and a bit funny.
If you feel like being ”Gogolled”, or you need a thoroughly good “Gogolling” today – try this one. You may also want to follow it up with some serious Googling about this gorgeous city, it’s interesting history and this particular street.

Apesar da estranha obsessão de Nikolai Gogol por narizes…
- Não quero, não preciso de nariz! – dizia com as mãos a abanar. – Só o nariz me gasta três libras de rapé por mês. (…) Não quero ter meu nariz! Corta meu nariz! Eis aqui meu nariz!
…desta vez consegui apreciar o humor do autor, depois de ter desistido da obra protagonizada pelo dito apêndice facial.
Ao meio-dia fazem as suas incursões na Avenida Névski os preceptores de todas as nacionalidades com os seus educandos de colarinho de cambraia. Os Johns ingleses e os Cocôs franceses andam de braço dado com os pupilos entregues aos seus cuidados paternais e, com uma solenidade decente, explicam-lhes que as tabuletas sobre as entradas das lojas foram concebidas para, por meio delas, se saber o que se encontra dentro das respectivas lojas.
A Avenida Névski parece-me o equivalente russo da nossa Avenida da Liberdade quando esta foi criada como passeio público, ou seja, não tanto como um meio mas um destino, como aponta Gogol a respeito da grande artéria de São Petersburgo, um lugar onde também se ia para se ver e ser visto. O retrato impagável que ele faz do diferente tipo de transeuntes consoante a hora do dia poderia ter sido escrito com o olhar crítico e jocoso de Eça de Queirós, o mesmo se aplicando às reuniões sociais quer da burguesia arrivista quer da aristocracia frívola.
Gostam de discursas sobre literatura. (…) Não perdem uma conferência pública, nem que seja sobre contabilidade ou silvicultura. (…) Porque as barbas russas, apesar de cheirarem ainda a repolho, de modo algum gostariam de ver as suas filhas casadas coim alguém inferior a general ou, pelo menos, a coronel.
É nesta avenida que dois amigos, um pintor e um oficial, se cruzam com duas beldades. Numa decisão nada repelente, cada um decide seguir a rapariga que lhe caiu no goto, com resultados diferentes: um mais trágico, outro mais cómico, mas tudo a apontar para a farsa, de tão idiotas que as situações se tornam. A escolhida do pintor revela-se uma praticante da mais velha profissão do mundo, o que faz dele imediatamente um aspirante patético a salvador…
- É verdade que sou pobre – rematou Piskariov, finalmente, o seu longo sermão – mas vamos trabalhar. Tentaremos melhorar a nossa vida com o nosso esforço conjunto. Não há nada mais agradável do que conseguir tudo com os nossos próprios esforços. Eu pinto os meus quadros e tu, sentada a meu lado a bordar ou a fazer outro trabalho de mãos, inspiras-me, não nos vai faltar nada.
…enquanto o tenente descobre que a sua possível conquista é uma mulher casada, o que só atiça os seus dons de sedutor.
A estupidez constitui um encanto especial numa mulher bonita. Pelo menos, conheci muitos maridos entusiasmados com a estupidez das suas esposas e que vêem nela todos os sinais da ingenuidade infantil. A beleza pode produzir verdadeiros milagres. Todos os defeitos espirituais de uma beldade, em vez de causarem repugnância, tornam-se de algum modo incrivelmente atraentes. (…) Porém, se a beleza desaparecer, a mulher precisará de ser 20 vezes mais inteligente do que o homem para inspirar se não o amor, pelo menos o respeito.
Dois desfechos ridículos com uma lição de moral intemporal: nem tudo o que reluz é ouro.

Este cuento habla de dos conocidos que, una noche, deciden perseguir a unas jóvenes especialmente hermosas que ven por la calle Nevsky.
(Ya podían buscarse otros hobbies, pero bueno...)
Me ha encantado por lo bien que está escrito, y especialmente he disfrutado la historia del pintor, pero los dos protagonistas me parecieron despreciables y me incomodó mucho la visión que se hace de la mujer en este relato.
Aún así, una historia bien contada que merece la pena para pasar un rato.

Quando si è alle prese con un racconto scritto da uno che con ogni evidenza siede negli scranni più alti dell'Olimpo, allora si sta zitti perché non c'è niente da aggiungere, a mettersi a fare la disamina dei dettagli c'è solo che da sembrar ridicoli.
Ma in definitiva, di che cosa parla questo racconto? Si compone di due personaggi, ciascuno con il suo episodio, uno tragico e l'altro farsesco, ed io ci avrei giurato che alla fine i due si ricongiungessero in qualche modo, e invece no.
Forse alla fin fine la spiegazione più corretta è quella della recensione di @Maryam: just mind-blowing. Ma in senso più letterale: due soffi di vento in libertà, due spifferi tanto più reali quanto più assurdi. Innegabile come in tanti da qui abbiano preso ispirazione (vedi Bulgakov ma anche il buon Fëdor Michajlovič) o addirittura scopiazzato (e qui penso a Bontempelli de L'amante fedele).
Però però, questa Prospettiva Nevskij dove "non senti altro che odore di passeggio" ma dove poi "tutto alita inganno", alla fin fine è proprio la stessa che ho trovato in Belyj, con la differenza che a Belyj occorre un romanzo intero per rendere l'idea, mentre Gogol' riesce a stringersi in poche righe.

First published in the collection Arabesques (1835), “Nevsky Prospect” shows Gogol near the height of his powers, a master of moods and styles who can also shift deftly from one to another, from dark romance to farce, from tragedy to irony, as swiftly and expertly as he does later in his masterpiece The Overcoat (1842).
“Nevsky Prospect”—named for the legendary boulevard in St. Petersburg—begins with an extensive description of the various sorts people who fill this major street of the city from dawn to evening. At this point, we meet up with two young friends, the army lieutenant Pirogov and the painter Piskarev, each of whom spies a different pretty girl in the street and begins to follow her.
The narrator pursues the painter on his quest, and relates his story to us—a magical, romantic tale with a surprisingly grim ending—and, once Piskarev’s woeful destiny is fulfilled, the narrator returns to Nevsky Prospect to follow Lieutenant Pirogov until he achieves his altogether different, thoroughly farcical fate. (I love the way the author indicates the shift in mood. Pirogov trails his little blonde honey right into an artisan’s shop where he encounters Schiller and Hoffman—not the famous German writers, Gogol is quick to assure us, but the local tinsmith and cobbler of the same names. Yes, Gogol signals, we are firmly in the country of comic realism here.)
So what is life like, really? Is it a tragic romance? Or a bawdy farce? The narrator offers no opinion, but—after Pirogov’s story is concluded—he returns to the place where he began, in St. Petersburg’s most famous street, now at late evening:
It lies all the time, this Nevsky Prospect, but most of all at the time when night heaves its dense mass upon it and sets off the white and pale yellow walls of the houses, when the whole city turns into a rumbling and brilliance, millions of carriages tumble from the bridges, postillions shout and bounce on their horses, and the devil himself lights the lamps only so as to show everything not as it really looks.

Arranca como una narración sencilla en la que el protagonista (más que una persona) es un lugar, un emplazamiento, una calle, vamos.
Se nota una cierta y muy fina ironía, apenas perceptible con el andar de las páginas: se expone un mundo material: corbatas, patillas, sombreros, etc.
Va casi todo el arranque de la historia en segunda persona, se dirige a un “lector-oyente” anónimo, al cual se le trata de Ud. con cierta consideración, y se le explica el funcionamiento de las gentes que transitan la calle Nevski; Gogol nos parece querer dar a entender que la mayoría de las veces se trata de un mundo y personajes impostados, rayando la hipocresía. Parece ser más importante el estado o la calidad de los zapatos que la naturaleza de la persona. Cada lector creo que se lo podría aplicar a una zona, pueblo o barrio.
Lo grande de la novelita al inicio es que el autor apenas lo apunta, no denuncia esa falsedad de forma clara, lo que da un plus a la narración. Yo lo hubiera dejado ahí, el cierre de la historia peca de esa "sobre-explicación", hace de menos al lector, es un tanto moralista.
Las dos breves historias que se cuentan, no están al nivel de la sugerencia de inicio del libro, pero sirven para ilustrar la propuesta inicial de lo que supone la apariencia y el provincianismo en determinados sitios, empleos, etc, en este caso nada menos que el San Petesburgo de finales del XIX.
No es memorable, pero no está mal.

أحب غوغول
هو بالنسبة لي تلك العجوز الثرثارة التي تملك عينا كالكاميرا بزاوية 360 درجة
لا تفوتها شاردة او واردة تصف الناس وأحوالهم وبذكاء وفطنة وملاحظات نمامة دون فضح
الفرق بين تشيكوف وغوغول ان تشيكوف يمزج البعد الإجتماعي بالنفسي ويبرز الطابع الحزين بينما غوغول يمزج التصرفات البشرية والمظاهر الإجتماعية ولا يتعمق في النفسية بل يرسمها لك دون حزن
هو تلك العجوز التي تخبرك ان هناك بئرا وفيها كنز وتصفه لك
لكن تحذرك بشدة من الذهاب للبحث عنه
أحب غوغول وثرثرته التلقائية و نقده المبطن للمظاهر والتدين الزائف او المشط

Böyle bi' kitabı bana yalnızca Gogol okutabilirdi zaten. Aslında düşününce Dickens'dan da okurdum sanki? Tamam evet okurdum ama bu kadar.

Gogol'un diline alışamıyorum. Öykü okumayı çok seviyorum. Betimlemelere bayılırım. Ama nedense bu yazara alışamadım. Garip bir kitaptı.
Neva Bulvarı'nı anlattığı yerlere bayıldım. Harikaydı. Ama diğer olayları tam bağlayamadım. İki arkadaş(arkadaş denemez birbirini tanıyan iki kişi) üzerinden vermek istedikleri vardı. Almanlardan bahsetmesi, Çarlık Rusyasını eleştirmesi, sınıf farklarına değinmesi... Her şey bu iki arkadaş üzerinden anlatılmıştı.
Ben daha çok olay öykülerine alışkın olduğumdan garipsedim gibi geliyor. Bir de Burun ve Palto öykülerine atıfta bulunması baya iyiydi. Sanırım her şeye rağmen Gogol'u tanımaya devam edeceğim ✌️

„O, netikėkite tuo Nevskio prospektu! Aš visada geriau susisupu apsiaustu, kai einu juo, ir stengiuosi visai nežiūrėti į pasitaikančius daiktus. Viskas apgaulė, viskas svaja, viskas ne tas, kas atrodo! Jūs manote, kad šitas ponas, kuris vaikštinėja su puikiai pasiūtu surdutėliu, labai turtingas? Kur ten: jis visas vertas tiek, kiek tasai surdutėlis.”

C'e' poco da dire: anche in poche pagine, Gogol sa rendere viva ogni frase e ogni descrizione, ti trasporta esattamente dove vuole (in questo caso a Pietroburgo, e nello specifico sulla Prospettiva Nevskij).
Avercene di scrittori cosi'!

This is a superb Brazilian edition, not only because of its masterful translation from the Russian, done by Rubens Figueiredo, but because of the beautiful editing job. The novella is published in two colors, red and black, occupying each half page - the red part is the first half of the book, which you must read from page 1 to 75; after reaching this last page, you turn the books upside down and start reading the second half in black. This is not done on a whim - both parts are different in tone (no spoilers) and in pace. And it is Gogol, for crying out loud.

A Avenida Nevsky é bela, esplendorosa ...o centro de S. Petersburg ...o centro do mundo. Adquire vida logo pela manhã e, por ela desfilam elegantes vestidos e chapéus, bigodes de todas ' as cores ' , fardas e cartolas diversas... Um rio de gente e inúmeras histórias. A do tenente Pirogov e a do pintor Piskarov demonstram, porém ,que 'nem tudo o que reluz é de ouro'.
Magnífica a descrição inicial da avenida.

Gogol y sus descripciones me caen mal
June 10, 2009
Всё происходит наоборот. (Everything happens opposite.) So said the wise and superstitious Gogol who knew that the Devil prowls Nevsky Prospect not only at night. With our dear Nikolai, however, we can't expect that everything always happens opposite. In fact, you should be prepared to enter a world where opposites don't exist at all. Anything is possible with Gogol, so be sure to keep your nose on tight.

شارع نيفيسكي أحد أهم شوارع روسيا حيث تقدس فيه المظاهر الكاذبة و الخادعة، و جاء أحد أعظم كتاب الادب الروسي لتعرية هذه الحقيقة الزائفة.
فحاله كحال أكبر شوارع أهم المدن ك لندن و باريس و روما ... مدن لا تهتم فقط الموضة بل تهتز لها إجلالا و تخصص أحداث و فعاليات عالمية للاحتفال بالموضة و الجمال الصارخ و طبعا المظاهر الصارخة لكن ماذا وراء كل هذا الجمال ؟ ما اللذي تخفيه حقيقة هذه الشوارع .. ؟

Uma avenida em São Petersburgo, dois homens, duas mulheres. E o russo faz miséria em menos de 100 páginas.

Nevsky Prospect - en bullersam gata i St. Petersburg där en salig blandning människor samlas varje dag. Men när mörkret faller presenteras en grym baksida.
En baksida som beskrivs via två män som var och en följer en varsin gäri de ser på gatan och blir förälskade i. Kortfattat sagt: död, mord och prostitution.
Tyckte om den här novellen. Levande beskrivningar av såväl platser som personer, spännande kontrast mellan de två männens story som löper samman med kontrasten Nevsky Prospect har. Liksom ena romantisk och härlig medan andra är osentimental och mörk.
Blir att läsa mer Gogol nu.

The women in this short story were simultaneously one dimensional and the best thing about it.

“This Nevsky Prospect lies always, but more than ever, when the thick mass of night settles over it and makes the white and yellowish walls of houses stand out, when the whole town becomes thunderous and dazzling, a myriad carriages roll down the streets, postillions shout and mount their horses, and the devil himself lights the lamps in order to show everything in an unreal light.”

Kitabı Koridor Yayınlarından okudum. Neva Bulvarı Gogol'um aynı isimli öyküsü ile Fayton öykülerini içeriyor. Bir günde okunabilecek bu iki öyküden de oldukça keyif aldım.
⚡️ Neva Bulvarı, Petersburg'un ünlü bulvarını adım adım anlatırken, öykünün iki kahramanının aşık oldukları kadınların peşlerinden gidişini ve yaşadıkları trajik olayları anlatıyor.
⚡️ Fayton ise, B şehrine gelen bir süvari alayını ve yaşanan bir trajikomik olayın hikayesi.
⚡️ Kitabın kapak tasarımı, çevirisi ve baskı kalitesi çok güzel; okumayı kolaylaştıracak bir punto ile basılmış👌🏻 Neva Bulvarı, Koridor Yayınları'nın bez ciltli klasikler serisinden okuduğum ilk kitaptı ve çok beğendim😊

When we look at Russian Literature in general, we tend to notice the writing style of many greats have been realistic in the literary sense. Let it be Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, or Gogol, everyone has written realistic pieces of literature. Gogol was one of the greatest writers in Russian literature who is famous for his short stories. This particular story Nevsky Prospekt is considered as one of his greatest by many critics and I must admit, they aren't wrong. This book describes the Russian individualism so perfectly that I would recommend everyone to have a look at it before reading Dead Souls by Gogol.
The book starts with the narrator describing the main street of St. Petersburg called as Nevsky Prospekt. He describes the place as if it was a utopia. He says that people come to Nevsky Prospekt and forget their woes. But again, the narrator is very unreliable and also is filled with "poshlost", a russian term difficult to translate but many term it as trivial, lack of spirituality, and baneful which includes sexual promiscuity. The narrator then cuts to tell the stories to two characters - a young romantic painter Piskarev and Lieutenant Pirogov.
These two characters are very similar yet very different. One is a romantic and another is a realist. Piskarev and Pirogov both go behind beautiful women but both end up differently. Piskarev's story and the way Gogol describes his condition reminded me of Dostoevsky's descriptions of mental states in Crime and Punishment. Gogol shows the stark contrast in both the characters but at the same time also shows us the price that we pay for trying to make dreams into reality. Pigorov also falls for a women but his ending is very different to Piskarev's.
The book ends with the description of the main street Nevsky Prospekt and it's position in St. Petersburg. I felt that Gogol wanted to show that this place is more than just a road. This place has magic yet there is a demonic element in it. There is much more to this story than just women. I loved reading through the lines of this book. Gogol's descriptions are point on and help us understand the city and Russia of that time. I would recommend everyone to pick up this book and have a read, you will love it.
