Description:
Collegiate Assessor Kovalyov awakens to discover that his nose is missing, leaving a smooth, flat patch of skin in its place. He finds and confronts his nose in the Kazan Cathedral, but from its clothing it is apparent that the nose has acquired a higher rank in the civil service than he and refuses to return to his face. The Art of the Novella Series: Too short to be a novel, too long to be a short story, the novella is generally unrecognised by academics and publishers but beloved and practiced by literature's greatest writers. This series celebrates the art form.
