Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol (1809-1852) wrote his epic Taras Bulba over a period, broken by intervals, of more than nine years: from 1833 to 1842. The Ukrainian people's struggle for their independence, waged throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, stirred and inspired Gogol, a great patriot of his country. The profound ideological message of the tale, its thrilling and truthful characters, Gogol's colorful portrayal of the people's life, have immortalized Gogol's epic. Taras Bulba is an excerpt, an episode from the epic life of the whole people of the Ukraine in the 16th century . . . Do we not see here Cossackdom in its entirely, with its strange civilization, its gallant and riotous life, its insouciance and indolence, its indefatigability and activeness? Tell me what is missing in this picture, what is needed to make it complete! Is it not all snatched up from the very bottom of life? Does not that life throb and pulsate here? And what a brush - broad and sweeping, quick and vivid! What bright, what dazzling colors! An what poetry - vigorous, powerful as the Zaporzhian Setch itself, where 'was the lair of men proud and strong as Lions! Hence poured freedom and Cossackdom over all the Ukraine! V. G.

Kartoniert, 148 Seiten, 203mm x 127mm x 9mm, Sprache(n): eng Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol (1809 - 1852) was a Ukrainian-born Russian dramatist, novelist and short story writer whose work was strongly influenced by Ukrainian culture. Although Gogol was considered by his contemporaries one of the preeminent figures of the natural school of Russian literary realism, later critics have found in his work a fundamentally romantic sensibility, with strains of surrealism and the grotesque ("The Nose", "Viy", "The Overcoat, " "Nevsky Prospekt"). His early works, such as Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka, were influenced by his Ukrainian upbringing, culture and folklore. His later writing satirized political corruption in the Russian Empire (The Government Inspector, Dead Souls). The novel Taras Bulba (1835) and the play Marriage (1842), along with the short stories "Diary of a Madman", "The Tale of How Ivan Ivanovich Quarreled with Ivan Nikiforovich", "The Portrait" and "The Carriage", round out the tally of his best-known works.
