Nikolai Gogol

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 .

This (I mean Вечера на хуторе близ Диканьки and perhaps Миргород, too) is one of the most wonderful books I have ever read. It is funny and scary, yet full of love. Some might think it moss-grown... which is and is not true. Yes, things and deeds depicted might have long sunk into oblivion, only that does not make reading the book any less interesting. More interesting, if anything.
I do believe it`s a pity the book(s) can hardly be translated into English properly.
