i’d like to tell you about a book by a russian novelist, nikolai gogol. it’s called “the government inspector”. it’s a satirical play. i’ve recently read this book in my literature lessons.
let me tell you a bit about this book. the action takes place in a small provincial town. the main character is khlestakov. he’s a young man who is silly and broke. but he’s a very self-loving man. he tells lies with pleasure. khlestakov has careless a fantasy. he arrives in the town and is mistaken for the government inspector.
as you can imagine, the plot is very interesting and funny. the comedy shows human stupidity and greed. also the problems of society are shown there.
David Bowie died of cancer on 10th of January in the age of 69. Like the rest of the world I feel sorry for him. He was a brilliant musician, truly one of the greatest songwriters for all time. He was odd, creative, impressive and passionate for music. Many say that without this man there was no pop-music and it's hard not to agree. He changed his image for many time. In 70's he was a Ziggy Sturdust: an alien from space. Also he was a Thin White Duke wearing a formal suit. In 80's he tried himself as an actor and he became the Goblin King with funny hair and weird make-up. And as I remember he had heterochromia (when your eyes have a different eye color). Rest in peace, David. Thank you for your music and inspiration. You will be remembered. Goodbye, Ziggy Sturdust.
