21页1、【英文文学】The Nosechapter 1ON 25 March an unusually strange event occurred in St. Petersburg. For that morning Barber Ivan Yakovlevitch, a dweller on the Vozkresensky Prospekt (his name is lost now it no longer figures on a signboard bearing a portrait of a gentleman with a soaped cheek, and the words: “Also, Blood Let Here”) for that morning Barber Ivan Yakovlevitch awoke early, and caught the smell of newly baked bread.
