The History Of A Town
''The History of a Town'' ( pre-reform Russian: ; post-reform rus, История одного города, Istoriya odnogo goroda) is a 1870 novel by Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin. The plot presents the history of the town of Glupov (can be translated Foolsville), a grotesque microcosm of the Russian Empire.

It is regarded by critics as the author's masterpiece and sometimes even compared to Gabriel García Márquez's '' One Hundred Years of Solitude''.
