(Из раннего.) Ну очень забавный очерк про молодого чиновника, бегающего за каждой юбкой и наживающего себе тем самым бесконечные неприятности. Так сказать, "жуирующего жизнью", по его собственному определению.
Из малой прозы того же периода еще прочитал юморную и довольно славную "Лихую болесть" про упоротое семейство, одержимое идеей пеших прогулок всегда и везде, а также "Счастливую ошибку" (так себе) про недопонимание двух влюбленных. Если дополнить список романом "Обыкновенная история", то из этих четырех произведений Гончарова "Иван Савич" однозначно понравился мне больше всего - очень легкое и веселое произведение.
