About the author

People consider that Russian writer Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol (Николай Васильевич Гоголь) founded realism in Russian literature. His works include The Overcoat (1842) and Dead Souls (1842).

Ukrainian birth, heritage, and upbringing of Gogol influenced many of his written works among the most beloved in the tradition of Russian-language literature. Most critics see Gogol as the first Russian realist. His biting satire, comic realism, and descriptions of Russian provincials and petty bureaucrats influenced later Russian masters Leo Tolstoy, Ivan Turgenev, and especially Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Gogol wittily said many later Russian maxims.

Gogol first used the techniques of surrealism and the grotesque in his works The Nose , Viy , The Overcoat , and Nevsky Prospekt . Ukrainian upbringing, culture, and folklore influenced his early works, such as Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka .
His later writing satirized political corruption in the Russian empire in Dead Souls .

I have read only fifty pages of Gogol in Russian, enough to know how hilarious he is, and to regret his conversion and attempt to destroy this great book.
"Sobakavich" alone rewards the reader with the Russian patronymic, "Son of" applied to "Sobaka," a bitch. Yet Sobakavich is the most genial of men, who refuses to sell even those of his employ who have died. His sentimentality is a triumph over materialism. Lovely stuff. Viva Gogol!

"Мертвые души" - это произведение, которое оставило в моей душе глубокий след и вызвало множество размышлений. Николай Гоголь создал потрясающий мир русской провинции, где каждый персонаж кажется живым и реальным.
Читая эту книгу, я погрузилась в атмосферу обмана, корысти и человеческой слабости. Главный герой, Чичиков, представлен как человек, стремящийся к успеху любой ценой, даже за счет моральных принципов. Его путешествие по деревням, покупка "мертвых душ" - это лишь поверхностные действия, за которыми скрывается глубокий смысл и философские размышления.
Гоголь мастерски раскрывает характеры персонажей, их внутренние конфликты и жизненные устремления. Я ощущала каждую страницу книги как погружение в мир русской действительности XIX века, где царит коррупция, лицемерие и жажда богатства.
Я рекомендую всем прочитать эту книгу, чтобы окунуться в мир гениального писателя и открыть для себя новые грани русской литературы.

I can describe these novels as novels of portraits. Although some characters are illustrated in grotesque way, they are quite real when you look around yourself.

Recommended book.
