The History of a Town (Russian: История одного города, romanized: Istoriya odnogo goroda; pre-reform spelling: Исторiя одного города), also translated as Foolsburg: The History of a Town, is an 1870 novel by Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin. The plot presents the history of the town of Glupov, which may be translated as the "town of fools", a grotesque microcosm of the Russian Empire. Written during the period of the "Great Reforms" in 19th-century Russia, it was neglected for a long time and rediscovered only in the 20th century. It is regarded by critics as the author's masterpiece and sometimes even compared to Gabriel García Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude.
