Are you retarded? What does that book has to do with Israel? It's from fucking 2000 years ago, and it paints the Romans in a positive light. It's a funny book because of Josephus' Jewish tricks against his own people and the shenanigans at king Herod's court prior to the war.

You are fucking stupid and should go back to /pol/ or better yet reddit. It's painfully obvious you're trying to "fit in".

>that part where they think Pavel is literally Napoleon

>that bit where Gogol says he's too "shy" to talk about noblewomen's psyche

Gogol feels like he'd be a great friend. The kind of guy that makes you laugh without even trying.
