The Inspector-General by Nikolai Gogol, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. Nikolai Gogol's comic masterpiece, first performed in 1836, takes place in a corrupt provincial Russian town. When word comes that a government inspector is travelling incognito, the panicking officials mistake a penniless young clerk, Khlestakov, for him, and he is only too happy to play along. A sharp, hilarious satire on bureaucracy and greed.
