Books about Nikolai Gogol

Biography: Nikolai Gogol

Nikolai Gogol was a great Russian novelist, dramatist, satirist and founder of the so-called critical realism in Russian literature, best known for his novel MJORTVYJE DUSHI I-II, Dead Souls.

After failure as a teacher in the University of St. Petersburg Gogol started as a writer and lived many years abroad. Later Gogol wrote some of phylosophical essays. He wanted to become a christian teacher in russian orthodox church tradition. He burned sequels for Dead Souls, just 10 days before he died. Like in the story The Premature Burial of contemporary writer Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) rumors arise from time to time that Gogol was buried alive.
