Nikolai Gogol was an artist who, like Rabelais, Cervantes, Swift, and Sterne, "knew how to walk upside down in our valley of sorrows so as to make it to a merry place." This two-volume edition at last brings all of Gogol's fiction (except his novel Dead Souls) together in paperback. Volume 1 includes Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka, the early Ukrainian folktales that first brought Gogol fame, as well as "Nevsky Prospekt" and "Diary of a Madman." "It is good to have a complete collection of Gogol's tales in paperback. . . . Professor Kent has thoroughly revised Mrs. Garnett's conscientious and skillful translation, eliminating the Victorianisms of her style, correcting mistakes and pruderies of diction, and making the whole translation sound much more contemporary and alive. But he has avoided the whimsicality and 'curliness' in which some recent translators indulged, and he has not changed or suppressed anything material. He has also supplied helpful notes which are often the first annotation in English, and he has written an introduction which steers the correct middle course between making Gogol an irresponsible artist of the grotesque and proving him a documentary historian of backward Russia."—René Wellek, Yale University

The pearl of Gogol’s Little Russian novels, is a historical novel, Taras Bulba, which recalls to life one of the most interesting periods in the history of Little Russia–the fifteen century. Constantinople had fallen into the hands of the Turks; and although a mighty Polish-Lithuanian state had grown in the West, the Turks, nevertheless, menaced both Eastern and Middle Europe. Then it was the Little Russians rose for the defense of Russia and Europe.  The hero of the novel is an old Cossack, Taras Bulba, who has himself spent many years in the Secha, but is now peacefully settled inland on his farm. His two sons have been educated in the Academy of Kiev and return home after several years of absence.  On the very next day after their arrival, without letting the mother enjoy the sight of her sons, Taras takes them to the Secha, which– as often happened in those times– was going to begin war, in consequence of the exactions which the Polish landlords made upon the Little Russians.  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 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.
