Présentation de l'éditeur :
The corrupt officials of a small Russian town, headed by the Mayor, react with terror to the news that an incognito inspector (the revizor) will soon be arriving in their town to investigate them. The flurry of activity to cover up their considerable misdeeds is interrupted by the report that a suspicious person has arrived two weeks previously from Saint Petersburg and is staying at the inn. That person, however, is not an inspector; it is Khlestakov, a foppish civil servant with a wild imagination. Having learned that Khlestakov has been charging his considerable hotel bill to the Crown, the Mayor and his crooked cronies are immediately certain that this upper class twit is the dreaded inspector. For quite some time, however, Khlestakov does not even realize that he has been mistaken for someone else. Meanwhile, he enjoys the officials' terrified deference and moves in as a guest in the Mayor's house. He also demands and receives massive "loans" from the Mayor and all of his associates. He also flirts outrageously with the Mayor's wife and daughter.
Présentation de l'éditeur :
Number twenty-three in NHB's Drama Classics Series, providing the world's great drama at a great price.
The introduction to this edition of Hedda Gabler includes a short biography of Nikolai Gogol and chronology of his work; a guide to what happens in the play; a short history of the play and its context; and a brief guide to language and translation.
In this ever-topical satire of small-town corruption and cravenness, bumbling and inefficient town officials are thrown into a panic when they learn that a Government Inspector is coming, perhaps incognito. When a well-dressed rogue arrives, he quickly realizes he is presumed to be the Inspector and takes advantage of the officials' dinners, bribes, etc. When the officials realize their mistake-just after the rogue leaves-the real Inspector arrives.
Translated and introduced by Kenneth McLeish.
The Government Inspector is a set text for AQA Drama and Theatre Studies A/AS Level.
