The Inspector General is a satirical play written by Nikolai Gogol, a prominent Russian writer. Originally written in Russian, the play was first performed in 1836 and has since become a classic of Russian literature. The story takes place in a small provincial town in Russia and follows the arrival of a government official who is mistaken for an inspector general. The town's corrupt officials, fearing exposure, go to great lengths to impress the supposed inspector, leading to a series of hilarious misunderstandings and mishaps. The play is a biting critique of Russian bureaucracy and corruption, and is known for its sharp wit and humor. In addition to its satirical elements, The Inspector General also touches on themes of identity, morality, and the nature of power. It is considered one of Gogol's most important works and is widely studied and performed in Russia and around the world.KHLESTAKOV. The devil knows, but it isn't roast beef.

It's as tough as the bark of a tree. I can't pull it out no matter how hard I try. Such meat is enough to ruin one's teeth. Crooks!
