Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol is one of the most mysterious and enigmatic Russian writers. In this book, the well-known literary critic and historian Boris Sokolov, author of the bestselling Dostoevsky Deciphered, reveals the secrets of Gogol's main works.
How do the images of Viy relate to the world demonological tradition? What in the story "Taras Bulba" corresponds to historical truth, and what is fiction? What is the infernal background of The Inspector General and Dead Souls, and which of Gogol's famous contemporaries served as prototypes for the heroes of these works? What did Gogol want to write about in the second volume of Dead Souls, and why was he unable to finish his great work? Perhaps he foresaw the fate of Russia?
The reader will find answers to these and other questions in the book Deciphered Gogol.
