Collected here are Gogol's finest tales--stories that combine the wide-eyed, credulous imagination of the peasant with the sardonic social criticism of the city dweller--allowing readers to experience anew the unmistakable genius of a writer who paved the way for Dostoevsky and Kafka. All of Gogol's most memorable creations are here: the minor official who misplaces his nose, the downtrodden clerk whose life is changed by the acquisition of a splendid new overcoat, the wily madman who becomes convinced that a dog can tell him everything he needs to know. The wholly unique blend of the mundane and the supernatural that Gogol crafted established his reputation as one of the most daring and inventive writers of his time.

From the acclaimed translators of War and Peace, Crime and Punishment, and The Brothers Karamazov, a brilliant translation of Nikolai Gogol's short fiction.

Visionary
If you're familiar with the work of Grant Morrison than you'll know this book was never intended to be read as a stand alone work. This is just the first few stories in a long run that culminate in Batman Inc. So, keep that in mind if you plan to jump on here. It's all or nothing. I'm always amazed with Morrison's ability to craft smart, universe encapsulating, severely polarizing stories in almost every one of his runs. His meticulous plotting, spot on characterization, and willingness to take chances are just three of the plethora of reasons to buy this book. If you like to be rewarded for paying attention and are looking for something more from your comics than "monster-of-the-week" this is for you.

I don't know, something's missing
I like the idea of Bruce Wayne being a dad - and with Ra's Al Ghul's daughter too. But is it just me or does it seem like there are gaps in the story; maybe there are other books in the story arc not in this graphic novel? When I got to the end of the book I was scratching my head saying "Is that it?" If you like Batman I suggest going to Forbidden Planet or your local comic shop and asking one of the people there to give you all the books around the arc so it makes sense.

A new Wayne
This book introduces Damian Wayne as the son of Bruce Wayne and Talia al Ghul. Bruce does not allow Damian to be Robin in this story as Tim Drake still is. Plus Bruce does not like Damian's attitude toward Alfred and Tim. This story does help to show just how talented (and violent) the future Robin is though.
