Nikolai Gogol
The best of Gogol’s stories mix the supernatural with the very grit of human life. They are always refreshing, inspiring now as then when it was great writers like Dostoevsky who praised and drew inspiration from his works.
The Overcoat, The Portrait
Ffrom The Collected Tales of Nikolai Gogol, translated by that Russian translating duo: Richard Pavear and Larissa Volokhonsky, wherein lie other stories of notable worth.
Dead Souls
Gogol’s best known work.
Vladimir Nabokov has written an interesting biography of Gogol, simply titled Gogol. It is perhaps the strangest biography I’ve ever read, befitting for a strange writer.
