Description of book

Diary of a Madman

by Nikolai Gogol

Translated by Ethel Voynich

Narrated by Denis Daly

Many of Gogol's stories feature ineffectual individuals who are overwhelmed by the caprices of fate. In Diary of a Madman, one of his most colourful tales, the narrator, a humble and obscure office worker, veers from mere eccentricity into full blown lunacy, and finds that the delusions fostered by madness are anything but comforting.
