Its petty and pathetic hero, Akakii Akakievich, has become one of the emblematic figures of Russian literature. With its idiosyncratic \u003ci\u003eskaz\u003c\/i\u003e style, its grotesque characterisation and its mixture of black humour and pathos, this work continues to attract avid critical attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJ.
