One morning, Major Kovaloff wakes up to discover his nose has mysteriously vanished. His frantic search to recover it provides a supernatural backdrop to this satirical take on 19th century Russian society, government corruption, and masculinity.

If you haven't already listened to parts one and two of "The Nose," please jump back and start with Pathless Woods Episodes 001 and 002 for the beginning of the story. Note for listeners: This reading of Gogol's "The Nose" is marked "explicit" for mild profanity and references to drinking alcohol.

The original text of "The Nose" (Russian: Нос) by Nikolai Gogol (Russian: Никола́й Го́голь) was published in 1836 in Russian and is in the public domain.
